Here’s to a fantastic month ahead at Red Hill!

Upcoming Fundraising Campaigns

The Rocket Launch Campaign is the premier fundraising initiative for Red Hill Elementary PTA. This is a great opportunity for parents, friends, and extended family members to support our school. Every dollar raised goes directly toward enhancing the educational experience at Red Hill. From academic enrichment to community-building events, your support empowers us to provide exceptional opportunities for all our students. Click here to donate today. 

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. Visit redhillpta.org/earnandlearn to learn more. 

Teacher Auction Opens September 13

Get ready to support Red Hill student programs by participating in the PTA's Annual Teacher Auction! Our amazing teachers and Ms. Malpass have generously donated their time to create special activities just for this event. 

You’ll have the chance to bid on an exclusive experience for your student(s) with their current teacher and/or with Ms. Malpass. The auction will be conducted through a blind bid process, so no one knows how much others are bidding. The highest bidder(s) will win the opportunity for their student(s). 

The auction will run September 13-29. A link will be sent via email once it is live and open for bidding. Winners will be notified directly via email.
