Upcoming Events
Rocket Run Nov. 1

Our annual Rocket Run is Friday, November 1 from 8 AM - 12 PM. We still need volunteers to track laps and help guide students before, during, and after their run. Click here to volunteer. 

This year, our goal is to raise $20,000, which will directly fund a variety of valuable programs for our school. We can easily reach our goal if every student raises $50 through donations from friends and family.  Click this link to donate.

After School Nov. 13

Bring your families for an after school treat! The Kona Ice Truck will be in the Red Hill parking lot Wednesday, November 13 starting at 12:45 PM when TK/Kinder is dismissed. Grades 1-5 will join after their dismissal at 1:14 PM. A portion of all sales goes to Red Hill PTA. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted.

From academic enrichment to community-building events, your support empowers us to provide exceptional opportunities for all our students.

Birthday Book Club

Support the Red Hill Library and donate a book in your child’s name for his/her birthday. Birthday book club students get to choose a brand new library book from a wide selection of exciting titles. They will be the first to borrow it from the library and once returned, the book will be placed into our library collection for others to enjoy. 

The cost is $25 and all proceeds go directly to supporting our library. Each student will celebrate during their birthday week in the library and take home a goodie bag. Summer birthdays will be celebrated on their half birthday. 

Click here for more details and to purchase for your student(s). 

Earn & Learn Fundraising Program

Shop, dine, enjoy services or see a movie at The Market Place, then submit your receipts to earn $350 to $3,500 for Red Hill. Earn & Learn runs from September 1 through April 30.

Share Your Red Hill Photos

We'd love to include your photos in our yearbook, on Instagram, and on the PTA website to showcase our amazing Red Hill community. Please email any photos throughout the year to photos@redhillpta.org.

Submission Guidelines:

  • One Event per Email: For easy sorting, please send separate emails for each event. Label the subject line with the event name, like "Family Movie Night" or "Garden," and include only photos from that event. This makes it easier for us to categorize and sort your submissions.
  • Review Process: We’ll carefully review all photos and ensure that we respect families' preferences by not sharing photos of students who have opted out of public visibility.
