Henniker PTA reports $2,900 coin‑war fundraising, to provide childcare at March town meeting
Summary
The Henniker PTA reported raising about $2,900 from a coin‑war fundraiser for end‑of‑year activities and said it will provide childcare (movies and popcorn) for the town meeting on March 15, supported by Girl Scout Troop 58777.
The Henniker PTA told the school board that a recent coin‑war fundraiser raised about $2,900 to support end‑of‑year activities including teacher appreciation week and activity day.
A PTA representative said the PTA and Girl Scout Troop 58777 will provide childcare during the town meeting on March 15, offering two movies, popcorn and supervision to help parents attend the town meeting. The PTA representative also noted an ongoing fundraising effort through Bridal Farms; the PTA encouraged community members to find Henniker Community School students or check the PTA Facebook page for details.
Why it matters: PTA fundraising supports school events and teacher appreciation activities; providing childcare at the town meeting is intended to increase family civic participation by removing a barrier to attendance.
