PTA Meeting 12/15/2021 @ 6:30 pm

Join us TONIGHT online

Please join us for our monthly PTA meeting online. PTA meetings are a great way to get connected with the community, ask questions of other parents and of school staff and find ways to get involved at school right now. You are welcome to attend whether you are a member or not (although of course we would love everyone to sign up to join the PTA at www.capitolhillelementary.com). 

We will use Zoom to host our meeting. Click here or go to bit.ly/CapHillPTA at 6:30 on Wednesday, December 15th. We are looking forward to seeing new and returning parents there!

Capitol Hill School Auction Update

We had our first auction meeting last week and were able to get a few things organized. Many of you have reached out since the meeting to volunteer - thank you! 

We are in need of donations! Do you own a vacation home? Do you have sports tickets? Do you have a business that would like to donate?

We are in need of sponsorships! Do you know/have a business that would like to get their name out in our community and support our school? Sponsorships are a great way to both! 

If you would like to be a part of the auction team or if you would like to donate or sponsor, please contact the auction chairs at auctionche@gmail.com

Tax Deductible Donations
As we get to the end of the year, many of you might be looking for places to make meaningful donations. The Capitol Hill PTA is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Your tax deductible donations to the PTA help provide teachers with a generous classroom budget, fund special school programs as well as community and school events. Our PTA helps fill in the gaps in the school budget and has helped support our community in so many ways.                   

Help us continue to make Capitol Hill a great place to grow by making a donation online at www.capitolhillelementary.com and click the “DONATE” tab.

Thank you for supporting our PTA 

so we can support our school!

Chipotle Night Was a Success!

Thank you to everyone who helped support our PTA by ordering dinner from Chipotle last week! We raised over $450 which is absolutely amazing! Be on the lookout for more Dining Out Nights! 

(Spoiler Alert ... our next Dining Out Night will be January 24th at Yalla in Multnomah Village! Mark your calendars now!)

Teacher's & Staff List of Favorite Things

With the holidays coming up, you might be wanting to get a little something special for your student's teacher or some special staff members that make Capitol Hill an amazing place. The PTA asked teachers and staff members to fill out a list of some of their favorite things. There are gift card ideas, coffees they love and so much more. You can access the list by going to: bit.ly/CHFavThings
