Description

Even though it has been six years, the families of the H&M Potter School are still feeling the effects of Super Storm Sandy.  Many families are still displaced and trying to provide for their families. We also have more than 50% of our student population that is classified Economically Disadvantaged.  These factors often make it difficult for the families to provide anything above the basic necessities. The H&M Potter PTA feels it is their duty to step in and help to create the best learning experience for the students of H&M Potter School.  In order to do this, we need to raise money.

 

The H&M Potter PTA Annual Gift Auction is the biggest fundraiser of the year.  We have over 425 members of the community attend the event with the hopes of winning one of our amazing prizes.  We rely on the generous donations of local businesses as well as those of large corporations to enable us to raise as much money as possible.  All monies raised from the Gift Auction go directly to meeting the educational needs of our students.
