2014 "TAG You're It" Fundraising Campaign Results

PC-TAG is proud to announce the results of the organization’s “TAG You’re It” fundraising campaign, which was conducted this year during Back to School Sign-Up and via email. All HPISD teachers were asked to submit gift requests to PC-TAG with an explanation as to how the item(s) or services they were seeking would enhance the learning experience of their students. PC-TAG received gift requests totaling over $235,000.

After careful review of all requests, the PC-TAG Board of Directors approved funding in the amount of $40,274.  Amy Genender, PC-TAG Chair, presented the check at the HPISD Board of Trustees meeting on April 8, 2014.

The gift funds requests from teachers at all seven HPISD campuses in support of the district’s Talented and Gifted (TAG) and enrichment programs as well as mainstream educational programs.  The current year gift enabled the purchase of enrichment items including iPads for use in the classroom, curriculum enrichment materials, classroom technology, support for academic competitions, teacher scholarships and training, and summer curriculum development.
Teachers were grateful for funding received.  One teacher responded:  “Thank you! Great news!
Very excited about science DataHubs! Thank you! Thank you!”
