PTA Special Events
Highland Mill Montessori hosts many special events throughout the school year. The ones listed below are sponsored in part by the PTA. Check out the Google calendar below and sign up for the newsletter to stay up-to-date on upcoming events.
- Curriculum Night: Learn about the topics covered through the year, testing protocols, and milestones to look for from your students throughout the year. This is also the PTA's first all-member meeting of the year.
- Impact Drive: Our biggest fundraising event of the year – no gimmicks, no selling wrapping paper! We just ask HMM families to support their students by donating to the PTA and spreading the word to others in our community that would care to donate. The money raised goes straight into our classrooms in the form of Classroom Supplements. It also funds special events, staff and faculty appreciation and HMM community gatherings throughout the year.
- Family Appreciation Breakfast: This is an event that celebrates the wonderful families that make up our HMM community. Held two times a year (fall & spring) you are invited to come enjoy coffee, breakfast treats, and a little quality time with other HMM families and students.
- Spirit Nights: We organize discount ticket prices for a big group of families and students to attend sporting events around town like Carolina Ascent soccer matches and Checkers hockey games.
- Trunk or Treat: A Halloween celebration in the front parking lot with themed trunks and plenty of treats!
- Garden Day: This is a day where our community comes together to beautify the school grounds and garden. Held on one Saturday and the fall and spring, we focus on tending our school garden, nature trail, and labyrinth.
- Book Fair: We hold 2 Book Fairs a year to raise money for the PTA and the library, and to promote literacy in each of our students!
- Highland Mill Winter Performance: The whole-school performance is full of singing and dancing and the cutest, most talented kids you'll find anywhere!
- Spring Fest: The whole-school performance is a springtime celebration of art and music!
- Fun Run: This in-school event is our spring fundraiser where students get sponsored to run laps on school grounds. The more laps run, the larger the funds raised.
