Teachers Love the Owl Fund!

The owl fund allows teachers to create amazing experiences in and out of the classroom for your students! Last year, 1st grade went on four different field trips that connected to our learning at school, all thanks to our classroom funds. The owl fund also supports us in getting what students need to have the most enriching school experience. The owl fund has purchased classroom carpets for whole group learning, appropriate and safe furniture for classrooms, extension and supplemental materials to enhance our DCPS curriculums, and opportunities for us to bring joy to our students. Any donation to the owl fund is greatly appreciated and benefits your student directly!

The PTA funds I receive have helped me in my work tremendously. I use the money for things big and small: replenishing school supplies, setting up my classroom space so it has all the necessary materials for our students, manipulatives for hands-on learning, and of course, field trips! The funds go towards making the Hearst experience better for the students and are greatly appreciated by the teachers.

The PTA funds support my students' experience in the classroom by ensuring that they have resources such as headphones, games for indoor recess and are able to attend field trips that extend learning beyond the classroom. As a new teacher, PTA funds also provided me the resources to create a warm and welcoming environment for students.
