Fundraising

This is a brief overview of the fundraisers held at HTS.  From eclectic to formal, there are several events that will catch you eye.  We hope you will support any and all that appeal to your sense of fun, community and giving at HTS.  Your support is crucial to our success, and the stakes for the school are high:  the money raised goes towards financial-need scholarships, school technology upgrade programs, school athletic programs, and more.  In addition, the HSA Board has set a goal of raising additional money to redesign and improve the playground equipment in the lower school courtyard.  Seed money for this project was set aside in this year’s allocations to kick-start the design process.  Now we need to secure the additional resources to make this idea become a reality.

Sally Foster

Sally Foster kicks off just as we get back to school.  They sell the stuff (wrapping paper and other goodies) you always seem to need but never have in the house when you need it.  With half of the proceeds going to HTS, and on-line ordering available, this is a great fundraiser to launch the year’s efforts.  Assistance needed includes:  promotion, logistics, and distribution.  To volunteer or learn more, contact Lynn Lucas (lynnelucas “at” verizon.net).

Trinity Golf and Tennis Classic

The Trinity Golf and Tennis Classic is an annual outing held each fall.  It is a casual event played in a scramble format so that golfers of all skill levels are sure to have a great time.  Don’t play golf?  No worries; come and test your prowess on the tennis court.  Those who can’t make it for the golf or tennis are invited to attend the cocktail reception and awards dinner following the day’s events.

This year the Trinity Classic will be held on October 16, 2009, at Bretton Woods Country Club in Germanton, MD.  We would love to have as many participants as possible.  Volunteers are needed to assist with mailings, registration, contests, and more.  For further information or to volunteer, please contact Maria or Randy Jones (mjones “at” milchev.com)

Trivia Night

“A casual night of Q&A, raising dough for the HSA” - will be held in Holy Trinity’s McKenna Hall on Friday, January 22, 2010.   Teams of ten vie in a fun and friendly competition to claim title as Trivia Night champions.  And if you don’t think you know lots of trivia, no worries.  Trivia Night “waitresses and waiters” are ready to sell hints to help your team get the correct answer.  Of course, volunteers are needed to help sell tickets, serve delicious chili, or take “tips” for clues.  Join this fun committee - contact April Egge (maloslamos “at” verizon.net), Caroline Ervin (ccervin “at” rcn.com) or Janet Stone (jstone “at” thearcdc.org) for more information.

Book Fair

HTS hosts a Fall Book Fair each year at the school to serve as an opportunity to encourage our young readers while supporting the school, with approximately 25% of total sales going directly to the HSA.  The Fall Book Fair focuses on gift and holiday shopping for students and adults.  The students are encouraged to come through the fair with their classes to review and make selections of books which capture their interests.   Teachers also create wish lists of books for parents to purchase for their classrooms.  Additionally, a virtual book fair will run for some time after the onsite fair to help families complete their shopping.  Volunteers are needed to help set up and break down as well as work as cashiers during the fair.   In addition to working with fellow parents, you’ll meet some of our fabulous faculty and help students with their book selections!  Look for notices in the Tuesday newsletter or feel free to contact us.  For more information, contact Susie Moyer (shmoyer “at” mac.com).

Faculty/Student Basketball Game

Watch as the Faculty gets crushed, we mean, dominates the students in this perennial favorite.   It is the highlight of March Madness. All proceeds go towards the Sports Program at HTS.  Want to help?  Sell tickets, set up/clean up, and/or cheer for the kids over our beloved faculty.  Contact Eunice Greer (EGreer “at” Scholastic.com).

Gala

We invite all HTS parents – old and new – to get involved in this worthy community building/fundraising event:  the 2009-2010 HTS Gala.  The Gala is a sit-down dinner with Treasure Trove, Silent, and Live Auctions.  This year the Gala will take place on Saturday, April 24, 2010 at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, DC.  Volunteer opportunities are many:  donation category chairs, administrative committee, raffle committee (pre-gala raffles that help raise funds for pre-gala expenses), program committee, publicity, decorations, etc.  You will have fun with the HTS community while working on the largest fundraiser put on by the HTS.  Contact Lori Jones (lojones “at” starpower.net) for more information.
