The Hartland-Lakeside Education Foundation (HLEF)/PTO works to support education and enrichment programs in the Hartland-Lakeside School District.
HLEF exists to provide financial support to the Hartland-Lakeside School District through fundraising activities as well as acting as a public relations liaison between the district and the community. The goal is to provide supplementary means to meet and exceed the educational goals through fundraising and donations from parents, alumni and the community at large. The HLEF collaborates with the district and it funds PTO activities and events. The HLEF is a non-profit organization accepting tax deductible donations and company matching gifts to maintain academic excellence in the Hartland-Lakeside schools within the Hartland, WI community.
History
Formed by a group of concerned parents and community members in 2005, the Hartland-Lakeside Education Foundation provides the Hartland-Lakeside School District with additional funds to provide and enhance educational materials, equipment and programs. Joining with our PTOs in June 2010, we have increased the ability to reach out to our parents and community. Our efforts have resulted in funding such things as handicap accessible playground equipment, classroom SMARTBoards and projectors, heart monitors for CREW, wireless microphones for the theater department, heart defibrillators, special education buddy program, cultural dance units for history classes, projection and sound system for the presentation room, as well as many other student projects and learning opportunities.
