Hello HPS Families and Friends,
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our first-ever Raise Craze fundraiser was a phenomenal success! Thanks to our incredible community, we raised an impressive $50,000 in vital funding while completing an astounding 2,200 acts of kindness along the way! We are incredibly grateful to the community for not only participating in this fundraiser, but for truly embracing performing acts of kindness and logging them on their Raise Craze page, coming out for Family Service Night, and to the schools for championing this program from the very beginning. Due to this incredible generosity, we are able to postpone our annual raffle basket fundraiser to the next school year!
This support has arrived at the perfect time, as late winter ushers in our enrichment programming—featuring assemblies and Challenge Day—and sparks planning for spring and year-end celebrations across all our schools.
We are deeply grateful to our sponsors for their Raise Craze prize donations: Fiske's General Store, TC Scoops, Fun & Games, Urban Air, Dave & Busters, Apex, and a few very generous parents. We would also like to thank our Family Service Night Sponsors: Linda Mossman Real Estate, Studio on the Hill, & A Soul Spirit Studio.
Your Holliston PTO Board,
Barbara, Beth, Stacey, Evie, Michele, May & Sarah
