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.

   Fall Genevieve's Catalog Sale: Gift wrap, magazines, frozen gourmet foods, gifts and other specialty items. This fundraiser is promoted through Hanover Middle School and Hanover High School however all members of the school community are encouraged to participate.  Raises $15,000-$18,000 annually

Parent's Night Out with Jim Plunkett: All school families are invited to join us for a fun adults only night! Raffles, silent auction items, dancing and fun!

Booster Thon Fun Run: This hugely successful fundraiser will take place at both Cedar and Center/Sylvester Elementary Schools in March. Funds are raised through pledges from friends and family for laps run by students. Sponsors are also sought to help with some of the operating costs of this event as well as t-shirts that are gifted to all students and faculty. Raised over $50,000 last in our first year!

HMS Brick Program: Purchase a brick for our beautiful walkway outside of Hanover Middle School. Brick sales are promoted through HMS families but all members of the community are welcome to support this program. Raises $2,000-$3,000 annually

Passive Fundraisers
Raise money for our schools through things you do every day!

Box Tops for Education:  An incentive program encouraging parents and students to collect General Mills Box Tops all year long.  Collection contests are held 3 times a year.  Top collecting classrooms win prizes and Box Tops are reimbursed for cash earnings funding additional school programs. Raises $6,000-$8,000 each year
Stop and Shop A Plus program: Register your Stop and Shop card with the Stop and Shop A Plus program and a percentage of the money you spend in groceries from October through March will be returned to our schools. Raises $8,000-$10,000 each year.
Amazon Smile: Log in to Amazon Smile every time you shop Amazon. Choose Hanover Parent Teacher Alliance as your preferred charity and a percentage of the money you spend at Amazon will be returned to the HPTA.

At the school level PTA Volunteers:

Coordinate the selection of room parents, classroom volunteers and event planners.
Facilitate Events at the schools. PTA Volunteers plan fun events for students and families both during school and after school hours
Organize small passive fundraisers with local organizations (i.e., Panera, the Toy Box, 5 Guys and other local establishments).
