PTO 2026-27 Direct Appeal
Help us raise money to support Van Hise classrooms, teachers, & families!
Dear VHE Community,
The Van Hise Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a volunteer run, non-profit organization committed to enhancing and enriching the education of our children and fostering a sense of community within our school. Each year the PTO makes a direct appeal to raise funds that support this mission. A direct appeal means no magazine, popcorn, candy door to door sales. Last school year, with your generous contributions we were able to fund a wide range of efforts to support the VHE community, including:

This year, we hope to continue offering the programs and support that we have done including a free: yearbook, shirt, popsicle at back to school night, ice cream at Hedgestock, glow dance & more (a $50+ value!)
Show your Hedgehog Pride and make a contribution. No donation is too small: all donations, at all levels, are greatly appreciated! If you are in a position to give more, please consider donating for a family who cannot. If you are unable to give this year, we hope you will join us in volunteering.
PLEASE HELP US REACH OUR GOAL OF RAISING $50 PER STUDENT
Though we welcome donations throughout the year (and our links remain active), we hope to reach our fundraising goal by Giving Tuesday on December 2. Your contribution is 100% tax-deductible & eligible for company matching programs.
Thank you for your support and for the many ways you contribute to ensuring our children can continue safely learning together!
Sincerely,
Van Hise Parent Teacher Organization
