Highland Park Elem School Fundraiser Starts in 5 Days so get Pre-registered.
Our big fundraiser starts in a few days! Our goal is to raise $20,000.00 for important items and services that are not currently funded at this time.
We are asking ALL parents to pre-register their student(s) here:
https://www.shopfund.com/parentregister
Make sure you use Group Code: PFFCD
Please get at least one person to support our fundraiser before our official kick-off day. Any student that is registered and adds 10 contacts will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win over 1,000 prizes. How cool would it be if we took a chunk out of our goal BEFORE the fundraiser even starts? Mrs. Burnett
