Sign up HERE to volunteer.
NHE PTA is hosting a Trunk or Treat event in the school parking lot Friday, October 29th from 6-7:30.
Kids will get to show off their costumes as they "trick or treat" from trunk to trunk. Non-food, allergen friendly treats will also be available at some of the trunks, just look for the Teal Pumpkin signs.
Parents, we need volunteers to deck out their trunks in spook-tacular fashion and hand out treats.

PTA Myth versus Truth
Goal: Every NHE student is represented in PTA by at least
one important adult in their lives.Status: Currently 25% of our students are represented. We are 1/4 of the way there!
There is NO obligation or expectation to volunteer or attend meetings. (But we do LOVE to meet members and find fun opportunities for those that want to help!)
Membership assistance is available. We do not want funds to stand in the way of those that want to join. Please email president@nhe-pta.org to request a confidential scholarship.
Pass the Hat Fundraiser
Status: We are 28% of the way to our goal.
And remember to ask your employers about their Corporate Match Plan. Many local employers will match the donation you make up to 100%!
Every dollar contributed to our Pass the Hat fundraiser goes directly to support the programs offered by the PTA. A donation of $100 covers our spending per student, but any amount is appreciated. Every dollar counts!
We are a 501(3)(c) non-profit organization. All donations are 100% tax deductible. Our Tax ID number is 91-1208399.
