Fundraising Parties
It’s time to start thinking about our Fundraising Parties for the summer! Fundraising
Parties are a fun way to raise money for Northern Hills.
Volunteer to Host a Party! - You can gather some friends to host with you too. Your
responsibility is to host your party and cover the costs of the party. If you have friends
hosting with you, they help cover the costs and hosting responsibilities as well.
Think of a Fun Party Theme - Popular themes in the past are grade-level get togethers
before starting the new school year, backyard swim, splash pad, parents night out, party
to learn to make a craft/cook/garden, dinner parties, scavenger hunts, renting out
play/activity facilities for a few hours. Do you have other creative ideas or talents to
teach? Go for it!
Come Up With a Date - Decide on a date that works for you and your other hosts. Notify
President@northernhillspto.com of your theme and date.
How Does Your Party Help Raise Funds for PTO? - Before school is out, we will have
these for sale on our PTO Square site. Watch the Monday Memo and Facebook page
for more info! All the money from the sign ups goes to PTO while you and your hosts
cover the costs of the party itself.
