Pajama Drive Thank You
Dear PVS Families,
As our pajama drive recently came to a close, we would like to take a moment to express our tremendous gratitude to everyone who helped make it a great success. Your efforts brought in 109 pairs of pajamas that Scholastic Book Clubs will match with a brand-new book.
Scholastic’s Pajama Program helps children in need by promoting and supporting them with a comforting bedtime routine consisting of cozy pajamas (which you generously provided), inspiring storybooks, and critical resources for caregivers. With your help, the children we support can enjoy the greatest benefit of a loving bedtime and peaceful good night: a fulfilling good day.
Thank you for your support. Your donations are greatly appreciated.
Have a wonderful holiday season,
Miss Olivia Langerhans & Mrs. Stacie Brown

GIVING TREES AT HTS & PVS
Every year, Harrison Township School District sponsors a “Giving Tree” in the lobbies of both of our schools which helps families right here in town. This year, we would like to collect Walmart gift cards only, so that parents will be able to buy clothing, toys, and other supplies, such as food if needed. We would like to be able to give parents $100 worth of Walmart gift cards per child. Since this usually helps about 130 children, our goal is to raise $13,000 again this year.
When you enter the building, you will notice trees up in the lobbies of both schools, with ornaments attached. If you would like to contribute toward this project, please take an ornament, and return with your gift card donation. If you are unable to get up to the school to obtain an ornament, please feel free to send in your donated gift cards as well. We ask that all donations be returned to the schools by the week of December 9th-13th, which would enable us to distribute to the families. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate any additional gift donations, only gift cards, due to space constraints.
Thank you in advance for your help with this project. If you have any questions, please contact the HTS health office at 856-478-2016, ext. 6311. Without this wonderful, generous community, this project would not be possible!

Last quarter's donation from amazon smile totaled $132.24. Thank you for shopping! The Harrison Township PTA continues to be eligible to receive donations with purchases you make on Amazon. AmazonSmile donates 0.5% of every eligible purchase to the Harrison Township PTA. To help, go to www.smile.amazon.com every time you want to make a purchase from Amazon and, at the same time, make a donation to the PTA. It works the same way as your current Amazon account.
