Dear Community Partners,

The Hickey Elementary PTA plays an important role in the lives of over 525 students. We are asking for your assistance in making our annual auction “ALLIANCE FOR ALL STARS 2019”a great success. Last year, we raised over $7,500. This year we hope to raise $10,000.

The Hickey Elementary PTA is committed to continuously supporting our All Stars. Our mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. We embrace and celebrate our ethnically and economically diverse population that includes students who live in east Plano, Allen and Parker.

Families at Hickey Elementary are never asked for money to pay for field trips, programs or parties. The monies raised during our annual auction, our biggest fundraiser of the year, are a key component in OUR ability to fund field trips, school programs and equipment, educational classroom supplies, classroom parties and a number of items that enhance and enrich our students’ lives.

Last school year, the Hickey Elementary PTA:

• Sent every one of our 525+ students on a field trip, including visits to the Dallas Zoo, Perot Museum, the Frisco Science and Discovery Museum, Crayola Experience & a symphony performance at the Eisemann Center
• Provided 525+ Field Day t-shirts to students and staff
• Funded in-school and after-school programs, including several assemblies and four, free family engagement nights (Multicultural Night, Science Night, Math Night and Art Night) and two, free fun runs
• Supplied each grade, Kindergarten through 5^th,with 3 classroom parties and an extra celebration for 5^thgraders
• Purchased numerous items to help the school, such as Science Fair trophies, additional tables for the library, mobile white boards, a green screen and extra books for the library and teachers
• Hosted three Teacher and Staff Appreciation luncheons
• Organized the sale of school supplies & yearbook

Our annual silent auction, ALLIANCE FOR ALL STARS 2019, runs February 26 - March 7, 2019. The online portion of hte auction ends Tuesday, March 5, 2019 at 10pm. Items will be available for pickup at the school open house on Thursday, March 7, 2019 with a live, silent auction also taking place for several items.

Contributions to the silent auction are critical to Hickey Elementary, no matter the size of the gift. Each and every donation is needed and appreciated, and will, perhaps, give you an opportunity to reach a population you haven’t yet reached. All donations are tax deductible. Every donor will receive recognition through our communication channels, including our flyers, newsletter, website and social media.

Donations will be accepted until February 25, 2019. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out, or visit our website at www.hickeypta.org/silentauction for more information. My contact information is below. 

On behalf of the students, staff and families at Hickey Elementary School, I thank you, in advance, for your consideration and joining our alliance to power our Hickey All Stars!

Gratefully yours,
