Silent Auction

NEW this year, the Hoedown will offer a silent auction benefiting the iGNITE fund. In District 39, families (not the school district) pay for enrichment activities such as field trips, guest speakers, STEM experiences and our outdoor curriculum in the Harper Garden.  Place a bid for your child to win one of these one-of-a-kind experiences!

 

Principal & Assistant Principal for the Day: Imagine spending a day as the boss of your school! The Principal and Assistant Principal for the Day prize offers a unique opportunity for a lucky student to experience the thrill of leadership. The winner will get to make announcements, attend meetings, visit a variety of classrooms, and ending the experience with a lunch together. It's a chance to have a truly unforgettable day.

 

Silly String Mrs. Brennan and Mrs. Feinberg: Ever wanted to see Mrs. Brennan and Mrs. Feinberg covered in a colorful, gooey mess? Now's your chance! The Silly String prize gives you the opportunity to unleash your inner artist and turn Mrs. Brennan and Mrs. Feinberg into a human rainbow. Not only is it a hilarious way to raise money, but it's also a chance to have some out of the box fun and make their day a little more colorful (and messy).

 

Diaper Drive for Share Our Spare

Please bring size 5 diapers (opened packages ok) and wipes to the Hoedown.

 

Harper is partnering with Share Our Spare to help end diaper need, which is the lack of a sufficient supply of diapers to keep an infant or child clean, dry, and healthy. Diapers are not covered by government assistance, contributing to the sobering reality that 1 in 2 U.S. families with young children experience diaper need. Help us reach our goal to collect 1,800 diapers, which is enough to provide diapers for 3 children for 1 year!
