High Point Academy :: Eagle Mail

The Annual Fund has reached $281,001, or 94% of our monetary target and at 84% HPA family participation (218 of 259 families). Thank you to those families who have participated to date!

For those who have not had the opportunity to make a pledge or donation, we invite you to join us in supporting the students, teachers and programs of HPA by making a pledge or donation to the Annual Fund today. Donations of ALL sizes are important and make a difference!

100% parent participation is very important as it opens up outside funding opportunities. The higher our parent participation percentage, the greater chance that we will receive funding from grantmaking organizations and the surrounding community.

Please click here for a donation/pledge form, or e-mail Development Director Ingrid de Llamas with your pledge at idellamas@highpointacademy.org

Thank you for your support!

WASTE LESS LIVING MONTH
February is Waste Less Living Month! Students and parents are encouraged to pack waste less lunches this month with a contest on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays beginning Monday, February 6. If an entire grade has lunches that generate no trash (everything in the lunch is reusable, recyclable, or compostable) then that grade earns 1 point. When a grade earns 3 points, the students in that grade will earn a bonus free dress day. The grade earning the most points in February will get a pizza party in March. Good Luck!

GIRL SCOUT PET FOOD DRIVE (February 1-14)
