Message from the PTA President

Hello Capitol Hill Families!

In the midst of this Covid-19 crisis, PPS is offering breakfast and lunch for MAP (Meals Assistance Program) students beginning on Tuesday, March 17th. For those who could also benefit from lunch on Monday, Laughing Planet has agreed to provide free meals for MAP students on Monday, as well as throughout these additional school closing days. https://www.facebook.com/laughingplanet/

The PTA will also vote on a possible donation. Our PTA meeting fund was not used this year because our childcare costs for school PTA meetings were free through Champions. PTA is hoping to vote to donate unused 2019-2020 funds toward a local charity such as Neighborhood House.

Also the Red Cross could really use your blood! Think about giving blood during this unprecedented crisis.

Thank you for being a thoughtful community, continuing to look for ways to support one another.

Looking forward to joining hands (metaphorically only) with you to care for those in need!

Amy Gupta

Your PTA president

We had to purchase the bags for a small fee, so if you take one, fill one!

Announcing the new Capitol Hill Adult Green Team

Capitol Hill has a new Adult Green Team. The team’s goal is to help educate and introduce the CH students to sustainable, eco-friendly practices and ultimately help minimize our environmental footprint. The team’s first effort was to replace the plastic forks/spoons in the school cafeteria with reusable, stainless flatware. Capitol Hill normally throws away 1,000 plastic utensils a month - that’s about 10,000 a year! This is a small change that will have a big impact on reducing the amount of single use plastic that CH students throw away.

Theater Class at CH!

Earn for Capitol Hill on Amazon purchases!

Thank you to everyone who makes purchases on Amazon using smile.amazon.com. But, we have found that there's a way to earn even more money for our school off of Amazon, potentially in the thousands, instead of the hundreds.
