Amber Farashahi and Jessica Newell are the co-chairs for Mayfest. Please contact them with any donations or questions.
Q: Why do we host Mayfest?
A: Mayfest is much more than a day of fun for current HW students. Mayfest is a day for former students to reunite and remember their days at HW and for future students to enjoy and anticipate their days at HW. Mayfest helps build our strong school community and celebrates HW as the “Heart of the Neighborhood”. Along with FUN is the reward of funding the HW PTO. Past Mayfest proceeds allowed the HW PTO to purchase Interactive Projection Panels, Water Refill Stations, Imagination Blocks, Stand-Up Desks & much more benefiting our children daily.
Q: How can I support Mayfest?
A: Kids love their class games…you can sponsor the game! Rented games and rides are one of the largest expenses for Mayfest. More information about sponsorship will be coming soon! If you have questions please contact Amber Farashahi or Jessica Newell.
Kids eagerly wait to hear their name announced as a raffle winner…you can donate the prize! Donations of all kinds are requested and much appreciated. Second only to the treasured “teacher-experiences,” kids love the chance to win tickets or memorabilia for their favorite sports teams, the latest and greatest toys & gadgets or memorable family experiences. Email Amber or Jessica to donate specific prizes. Don’t see a prize you want to contribute, simply add it to the list. No time to source or buy a prize? Make a monetary donation for the exciting and profitable raffle.
As with many HW events, Mayfest is made possible by our generous parent community. Thank you in advance for your continued support of this beloved annual tradition!
