Hanover Parent Teacher Alliance
The Hanover Parent Teacher Alliance (HPTA) raises money to fund crucial academic enrichment for all grade levels within our Hanover Public Schools. The HPTA serves as the Executive Board for the individual PTA’s at each of the 4 schools in Hanover. Together we work to raise funds, enrich student education and provide fun events for students and families.
We hope that 100% of Hanover families will join the PTA to aid in enhancing the curriculum for all grade levels and to support community building within Hanover Public Schools. Our annual goal is to raise $50,000 through a combination of fundraisers all of which goes directly back to our schools.
Fundraisers
The HPTA manages all of the Fundraisers for the Hanover Schools. These include:
HPTA Direct Donation Drive: Our Direct donation drive enables parents to make a donation directly to the school (s) of their choice. 100% of their donation goes to the school(s) they designate. They may also donate to the Hanover PTA with an additional $15.00 contribution to help with district wide initiatives. This campaign begins in September with the hopes of collecting all donations by mid-November. However donations are accepted throughout the school year if there is a better time for you to contribute. Raises $12,000-$18,000 annually. To make your donation click the DONATE tab on this website.
