Harvard Elementary PTO

Harvard Elementary PTO Joining the PTO is a great way to get involved in your child’s school life. With your help, we can make a difference in our children's lives!

In order to achieve our goals, volunteers from the PTO organize fundraisers throughout the year, i.e. the fall sales fundraiser, our Scholastic Book Fair, our Santa Shop, the carnival, and others so that we can give back to our students in meaningful ways. In the past, the PTO has paid for all-school field trips, our playground equipment, food items for the Holiday Basket program, new books for ou

r library, food and commemorative items for occasions that honor our students, teachers, and staff, ice cream for all Harvard students at the end of the year, and many many other great additions to the Harvard Elementary experience. We would like to continue providing for the school to help make Harvard a great place to learn, and we need your help!

What a night! Close to 500 former Harvard students, staff, parents, and community members came out to celebrate our beautiful Castle on the Hill.

It was incredible to hear the many cherished memories and to see the delight on people’s faces when they walked through this beloved building.

We don’t know what the future holds for the building that housed Harvard Elementary School, but we are honored to have been part of its 99-year history.

Thank you to everyone who came out tonight! Thank you to Toledo Public Schools for allowing us to host the party. Thank you to Dean W. for grilling the hot dogs, and to Mr. John Jordan and Mrs. Carol Del Signore for giving tours of the building. Thank you to Wixey Bakery for making such delicious elephant ears and to Printed On A Lark for creating commemorative t-shirts. ETA: Thank you to Principal Coleman from Beverly for helping out with the elevator, and to TPD for assisting with crowd control. And thank you to former PTO President Cindy Locker for gifting the Harvard tote bags.

And thank you to the members of the Harvard PTO who organized and staffed the event tonight.

We were so busy we didn’t get any pictures, aside from this video taken just before the event officially started. Please post your favorite pics from tonight in the comments. 😁
