iGNITE for Enrichment

iGNITE is the District 39-wide fundraising initiative dedicated to supporting enrichment programming for our children. Each year, Harper students benefit from field trips, visiting speakers, STEM experiences, theatre performances and more - in District 39, these enrichment programs are solely funded by iGNITE contributions, which are collected at every D39 school. Your iGNITE fees go right back to your kids!

The Harper PTO’s suggested annual iGNITE fee is $140 per student to fully offset activity costs, but any contribution is welcome. Payments are easy to make at the beginning of the school year through Membership Toolkit. All donations are tax deductible.

Below are some event highlights that iGNITE sponsored in past school years:

Field trips across all the grades, from Kindergarten’s visit to Kohl Children’s Museum to 4th Grade’s adventure to the Winnetka Historical Society
Maintenance of the Harper Garden, including planting new crops chosen in a student survey and an outdoor curriculum for all grade levels throughout the year
In-school speakers, such as award-winning author Cynthia Lord, mathematician Mike Byster and environmental educator Joey Feinstein
Annual Griffin’s Tale theatre performances by the Northwestern Children's Repertory Theatre Company

We thank all of the parents who contribute to the iGNITE Fund to make enrichment possible for every child at Harper!
