Hardy Lap-A-Thon

Hardy's 2015 annual school-wide Lap-A-Thon Fundraiser!  This is our BIGGEST PTO fundraiser (assuming we reach our goal) for the year, so we really need your support to make it a great success and reach our goal of $10,000.  

All students will complete laps on the school 1/4 mile track during gym class the week of October 19-23.  This is an opportunity for your child to help raise money for the school, while having fun and getting some healthy exercise, too!

You should have received a pledge form to be completed, if not copies are available in the office.  Please note, Kindergartners only run 4 laps and the 5th graders' monies will go directly toward their camp fund. Their will be rewards for top fundraisers, top earning classroom, top 3 lap runners and all students will receive a small token of appreciation for participating! 

Pledges collected in CASH are welcome.  If you collect checks, please have sponsors make the checks out to you, and then you write ONE check to Hardy PTO for the total amount of all pledges.  

We will need your help to make this fundraiser successful.  Please consider volunteering for just 35 minutes.  Here is the link to the Sign-Up Genius page

Hoopla Success!

Thank you for making the Hoopla a wonderful success!  We had a great turn out of volunteers from parents, to teachers, to community resources like the Key Club, Cheer Team, Girls Scouts, Robotics Club and many more.  The support of our community is instrumental in us being able to provide fun family activities.  The weather was not our friend but we managed to still have a great time!  Many of our teachers and staff were great sports and took some pies in the face!

Special thanks to Bagger Dave's of Novi, Dolly's Pizza of South Lyon and Novi Coffee for donating all of their proceeds to the PTO.  CARES Club did a great job with their photo bench and assisting with Communication Cafe's Cocoa Stand.  It helped to have some warm cocoa that night.
