"Dessert For Dollars" at Julie Ann's Frozen Custard on Monday, May 3rd from 11 AM – 10 PM
Make dessert even sweeter by joining us for a fundraiser to support Husmann PTO. Come to Julie Ann's on Monday, May 3rd between 11:00 am to 10:00 pm. Bring in the flyer, show it on your smartphone or tell the cashier you're supporting the cause to make sure that 10% of the proceeds will be donated.
Staff Appreciation Week
Teacher Appreciation Week (Monday, May 3rd through Friday, May 7th) is quickly approaching, and we need YOUR help! In the past years, HPTO has requested physical donations of various food items, paper products, etc. to show our teachers how much we appreciate them. Due to Covid restrictions, we are unable to follow the typical plan so we are thinking outside the box and asking for digital donations. This allows all of our families, both in person and remote, to contribute while remaining 100% contact free. Donations are in no way mandatory, but they are greatly appreciated. We have already planned a luncheon for Teacher/Staff Appreciation Day, and we plan to use the donated funds to shower our teachers with goodies and other small tokens of appreciation. We picked Walmart because of the variety of items that can be purchased at one location.
If every family makes a $5.00 donation, we could have an incredibly successful week. If you wish to contribute, donations can be made by Friday, April 30th by using the following link below. The email address to enter as the recipient is husmannpto@gmail.com.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for all the support you have provided! We couldn’t do any of this without the support from our Husmann families!
With gratitude,
Husmann PTO
End-of-the-Year Project
1st Day School Supplies
We are once again partnering with 1st Day School Supplies to offer pre-made kits for the fall. This is not a fundraiser but simply a convenient way to take the hassle out of back-to-school shopping. Be sure to get your order in before July 1st!
It's not too late to order a Yearbook!
Amazon Smile
Are you looking to support your local school or non-profit organization? What could be easier than earning money by SHOPPING from your own home? Simply shop through Amazon.com/smile! If you aren’t already supporting your favorite charity, please considering selecting Husmann Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization as your charity. .5% of all qualified purchases will go directly to our PTO. How easy it that? If you have the app, you can set it up to automatically shop through Amazon Smile every time you shop. I don’t know about you, but I feel like I could fund the year for PTO with all the purchases my family makes!
