Be a Foundation Member in Honor of Someone Special
Did you know our district has an Education Foundation? Our school has benefited greatly over the years from the Park Hill Education Foundation grants. In fact, our school has received 8 grants worth $12,553. The more funding the Foundation has, the more money gets put into our classrooms.
If you join today, your support will honor the exceptional work of our teachers and students. If you join before the end of April, $5 will go to the District PTA Clothing Center, and you will get a personalized window cling! Membership is only $30 a year and our students and teachers will feel the impact.
