Fundraisers

GoPlaySave Coupon Book Fundraiser! Want more information on this event:

📣 Attention HES Families!

Get ready—our GoPlaySave fundraiser kicks off the week of August 12 and runs for three exciting weeks! Our goal is to raise $6,000 to establish a STORM SUPPLY SHELTER—a dedicated space where teachers can request essential classroom items without dipping into their own pockets.

Why This Matters

Did you know that, on average, teachers spend $895 of their own money each year on classroom supplies? These expenses cover not just basics like pencils and dry erase markers, but also items like educational posters, party supplies, birthday cards, thank-you notes, and stickers. While the IRS allows educators to deduct up to $300 for such expenses, this still leaves a significant gap that many teachers fill themselves.

How You Can Help

By participating in the GoPlaySave fundraiser, you're directly supporting our teachers and students. Each coupon book sold brings us closer to our $6,000 goal and helps alleviate the financial burden on our educators.

Let's come together to support our teachers and ensure they have the resources they need for a successful school year!

Silent Auction

We’re excited to announce the return of our Silent Auction in Spring 2026, offering a fantastic opportunity to support our school while bidding on amazing items—all from the comfort of your home! Seeking Donations: The success of our Silent Auction relies on the generosity of our community. Beginning in early 2026, we start seeking the donation of items, services, or experiences to feature in the auction. Popular contributions in the past have included:

Gift baskets
Event tickets
Local business services
Handcrafted goods
Unique experiences

If you or someone you know is interested in donating, please reach out to us at sponsor@heritagepta.org. Plus, since we are a nonprofit organization, your donation is tax deductible. Help us make this year's Silent Auction the most successful yet by sharing information with friends, family, and local businesses. The more participants and donors we have, the greater the impact we can make together.

Book Fair

Get ready to ignite your child's love for reading at our upcoming Book Fair which will take place in February 2026! This event offers students the chance to explore a wide selection of books, from thrilling adventures to fascinating non-fiction, all while supporting our school's library.

Get Involved! Last year we were able to raise $5,600 for Ms. Drew to buy new books for the HES library. We will be looking for committee members and volunteers to help make the Book Fair a success. If you're interested in assisting, please contact us at hesptanc@gmail.com.

Hurricane HERO HustleFUN RUN

We're thrilled to announce that our annual Fun Run is set to take place this October 2025! This event is a fantastic opportunity for students, families, and community members to come together for a day of fitness, fun, and fundraising. Keep those fingers crossed that there is no rain in the forecast this year.

Get Involved! Last year we were able to raise almost $10,000. This money bought the Fun Run shirts which each student receives for FREE as well as will be used to fund Teacher Grants in the 2025-2026 school year. We will be looking for committee members and volunteers to help make the Fun Run a success. If you're interested in assisting, please contact us at hesptanc@gmail.com.

Yearbook

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we're excited to share some traditions that make our yearbook special:

🎨 5th Grade Cover Design Contest:

Each year, our 5th-grade students showcase their creativity by submitting original artwork for the yearbook cover. After all entries are collected, the entire student body votes to select the winning design, which will be featured prominently on the front cover.

🎓 5th Grade Tribute Ads:

Families of 5th graders have the opportunity to purchase tribute ads to celebrate their child's achievements and milestones. These personalized messages, often accompanied by photos, are a heartfelt way to commemorate your student's journey and are included in a special section of the yearbook. Details on how to create and purchase these ads will be provided during the school year.

📷 Photographs:

We ask all parents to participate by uploading pictures throughout the year by utilizing special links for each class or event. The yearbook committee tries to get these out to teachers as early in the school year as possible. Deadlines to submit photos will be communicated to you.

Get Involved! We will be looking for committee members to help with our 2025-2026 yearbook. If you're interested in assisting, please contact us at hesptanc@gmail.com.
