NO HASSLE FUNDRAISER
2011-2012

Did you know that last year the OHE PTA raised over $55,000 to support our school? This money supported school-wide needs such as updated technology for our classrooms, books for our library, strengthening school curriculum, in addition to funding our teacher’s classroom needs. Please see below for specific detail of school needs funded by the OHE PTA.

One of the primary goals of this year's PTA is to fund additional academic staff to assist our teachers in meeting their academic goals. In this time of district cutbacks and increased student/teacher ratios, your financial commitment is greatly appreciated. Without your financial help, the academic achievement found at OHE would likely be compromised.

In past years, the school has also had a fundraiser, typically magazine sales. This is completely separate from the PTA. This year, the school has decided not to do a separate fundraiser in hopes to make it easier on the OHE community. Please consider donating generously to this No Hassle Fundraiser.

What are the benefits to you with this type of fundraiser?

There are no products for students to sell or deliver!
100% of your donation goes directly to OHE PTA and our school’s needs. OHE PTA’s ability to support and sponsor projects and programs for your student(s) is dependent on your donations and support!
This is the only direct sell type fundraiser of the school year! (Please note that if we don’t meet our goal this year, we may have to add an additional fundraiser during the year to meet our budgeted goals.)
All donations are tax-deductible.

Our goal is to raise $15,000 by September 16th, 2011

When you donate at least $50 or more, you will receive a special OHE Eagle Supporter Window Cling for your car to show your Eagle Spirit!
Any donations of $50 or more will be recognized on our website and in a future Eagle Eye e-newsletter.
Any donations of $250 or more will receive 2 OHE PTA t-shirts.
If you are a business owner, consider becoming an OHE PTA Corporate Sponsor. See our website for more information.
Please check if your employer has a matching program because many companies will match charitable donations.
Encourage your family, friends and businesses to make a donation to support our children and our school.

Here's how it works:

Return the bottom portion of this donation form along with your donation of either cash or check payable to OHE PTA or go online to make your donation at www.ohepta.org/Store.
A receipt for your 100% tax-deductible donation will be issued and returned to you via your child.

Have questions? Contact nohassle@ohepta.org. Thank you for your generosity and support of our school and our children!
