2017-2018 Highlands PTC Committee Chairpersons

The Highlands PTC is looking for a few parent volunteers to chair a committee for the 2017-2018 school year. Once we have our chairpersons in place, the PTC Board will begin recruiting additional volunteers to serve on each committee. If you have questions about what being a chairperson entails, please contact Karlie Rittenhouse at 616-361-3440 or at ptchighlands56@gmail.com.

Help Us Raise Funds for Highlands!!

The Highlands PTC raises money to fund events and activities that are important to your child’s educational experience…things like Field trips, 6^th grade camp, Field Day, the Holiday Shop, playground equipment and more. Below are ways you help ensure these things continue, many just through your everyday shopping!

Collect & send these to school with your child: Ask Grandma & Grandpa to help!

Boxtops for Education – General Mills, Betty Crocker, Ziploc, Pillsbury, Huggies & more.

Labels for Education – Campbell’s, Spaghettio’s, V8, Goldfish, Pop Secret & more.

Just clip & send to school in a baggie with your child’s homeroom teacher’s name on it so that we can credit the right class. The top earning individual class & grade level will receive a special reward!

Designate Highlands as your charity of choice with the following retailers:

Meijer – Sign up for a Meijer 1 card at http://www.meijer.com/rewards

& designate Highlands PTC under “Community Rewards” using group #776911. The Meijer 1 card is NOT a credit card. When swiped at the register during checkout, a percentage of your purchase will be donated back to Highlands! And the best news is, EVERY PURCHASE throughout the year counts!

Target – Go to http://www.target.com/ & designate Highlands #62777 for your Target Credit or Debit REDcard account. 1% of ALL purchases throughout the year will be donated back to Highlands!

Donate My Coke Rewards points: Save those twist tops! You can create an account online at mycokerewards.com & enter codes to collect points that can then be donated to Highlands Middle School. Otherwise, save your clean caps in a gallon Ziploc bag & send them into the school so that we can do the job for you!
