Fund raising has become more challenging in the age of the COVID pandemic, but the HSE Schools Foundation is restructuring Game Day as a virtual event.
The Friday, February 19 Game Day will feature an online virtual trivia contest.
For those enjoying the popular Game Day auction, it is back in virtual form. The auction annually features unique items and experiences, including baskets from each of the HSE schools and PTOs plus an amazing online raffle. You can view the auction online from anywhere beginning February 12th until bidding closes on February 19th.
Game Day raises roughly $100,000 each year, which the Hamilton Southeastern Education Foundation (HSEF) uses to invest in innovative, teacher and student led ideas from around the district. Proceeds from Game Day support innovative science, engineering, technology and math (STEM); literacy; mental health and wellness initiatives across all grade levels within HSE Schools.
How to you sign-up for Game Day? Here are the details, as provided by the foundation:
