Family Sponsorship Request
Hyde Park School will be hosting our annual Spring Celebration Friday, April 19, 2024 at MadTree Brewing! Mark your calendars and get a sitter. This event is our largest fundraiser and it provides an opportunity for HPS families, staff, and community supporters to celebrate our successful school.
We invite your family or business to participate as an event sponsor. Your contribution will help our PTO bridge the Cincinnati Public School funding gap by covering the costs of field trips, classroom supplies, technology upgrades, playground updates, and enrichment opportunities for our students.
By making a donation, you will also receive recognition in all Spring Celebration communications and enjoy the amenities our sponsor packages have to offer. Sponsorship levels can be found on the back of this page. Every sponsorship level includes event tickets. If you are donating as a family, don’t forget to check with your employer as many companies have matching programs.
Please contact the sponsorship chair, Lauren Sample (sponsorship@hydeparkschoolpto.org) if you have questions. In addition to sponsorships, we are also looking for silent auction items; additional information about silent auction donations is coming soon.
The HPS PTO is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit. Sponsors will be provided with a donation acknowledgment for their records. Thank you in advance for your support!

Our youngest students are in need of some assistance during lunchtime. Tasks like opening cheese sticks, yogurt lids, and even putting straws in drink boxes can be challenging to little hands. If you could spare 30 minutes of your time, please join our lunch period to help make the most of this important time! You will need to check in at the main office at 10:00am and will then be directed to the cafeteria. |
