Parent Support Group Committee


What is the PSG?
The PSG gives you an opportunity to participate in your child's school community by volunteering on committees such as:
  • Fundraising 
  • Social Committee 
  • Building and Grounds

The Parent Group discusses new and existing activities. ALL Heartwood parents are encouraged to attend these meetings. We need your input and suggestions!

Child care for your children over age 3 is also available. 
 
PSG ACTIVITIES

Original Works Fundraiser

Heartwood has participated in Original Works as a fundraiser for the past 8 years. Parents have been very pleased with the quality of this program. Children produce artwork, under the direction of our Art teacher, Jayne Cluggish, and their teachers. The artwork can then be reproduced as a variety of products ranging from mugs, aprons, stationary, tiles and much more. Parents have a choice of what, if anything, to order from a catalogue from Original Works. Orders are placed during November and products are delivered in December. We usually are able to raise about $1,000 from this popular program.

Scholastic Books

Throughout the year, Scholastic Books will be offered for purchasing. Catalogues go home with your child and you can order books all year. A percentage of the proceeds come back to the school by way of credits for teachers to order books.

How Can You Help?

Building and Grounds Commitee: This committee will be working on the outdoor environment all year long. They also provide assistance with improvements and repairs. Contact Sue Daniel for information on how you can help out.

Social/Hospitality Committee:

We would like to have a Wine & Cheese social for Heartwood parents. If anyone has access to a club house or community room that would be suitable, please let us know. We've had these in the past and they are fun.

Looking for a few good restaurants! The Social & Hospitality Committee would like to set up some dates throughout the year for Heartwood families to eat out and make a little money on the side. Some restaurants do fund raisers, giving back 5 - 10% of the evening's proceeds. If you have a favorite restaurant that you think would be a great place for families to have dinner and rub elbows, ask them if they are interested in arranging a fundraiser with Heartwood. If they are, let Mary (in the office) know and we'll set it up. Thanks.

Please contact Mary McKinney for more information.
