New This Year: Eco-Friendly Craft Contest
As HSA works to launch our zero waste program, we encourage student crafters to make an impact using eco-friendly materials for their holiday fair crafts. Get creative and use recycled materials, or check out the links below for some inspo. The winner of the most sustainable holiday craft will take home a special prize and get a PTA newsletter shoutout!
Interested students can enter here: Eco-Friendly Craft Contest Signup. Please note: This entry form is separate from signup; students need to fill out both!
During the craft fair, the judges will come by to see their craft, and the winner will be announced by December 17th!

Marquee Message
Sign Up for the Student Craft Fair!
How it works: For a $10 donation (given to charity, organization TBD), students can set up a table and sell their handmade crafts (no food please) set at their own prices. The PTA will sell $1 tickets for buyers to use as payment so that students won't need to exchange money. After the event, students take the tickets they have collected to our PTA Treasurer to receive the money they have earned!
