Great Kindness Spirit Week
Hearts in the Hall
This Valentine’s season, the Halley Elementary PTO invites families to spread the love by celebrating your favorite student, teacher, or staff member! We’re excited to host our February Hearts in the Hall fundraiser in support of our 6th Grade Promotion Celebration!
How it works:
- Donate any amount on our PTO Board page no buying or selling required
- Each donation earns a heart displayed in our school hallway featuring a student, teacher, or staff name and a short message
- All funds raised go directly toward celebrating our 6th graders as they prepare for middle school
- The class with the highest participation will earn a special reward
Thank you for helping us share school-wide love while honoring our graduating class! ❤️🐝
