What We Do

The end of Jump Start picnic was super busy! Lots and lots of kindergarten families came out to enjoy hot dogs + chips, and slices of sweet, juicy watermelon. 🍉 Kari, our super awesome Box Tops Coordinator, had a blast welcoming families and reminding them to clip those Box Tops. Each Box Top = 10¢ for our school! #harneyhelpers #jumpstartpicnic #savorsummer #almostbacktoschool #boxtops

Can you believe school starts in two weeks?! Kari, our super awesome Box Tops Coordinator, wants to let you know of a killer bonus Box Tops promo at @fredmeyerstores through tomorrow, 8/15. Purchase 5 participating Box Tops products in a single transaction with your Fred Meyer Community Rewards card and earn 20 addition Box Tops. That's a $2 bonus for our school! Box Tops, bonus Box Tops, and Fred Meyer Community Rewards points? Now that's what we call the triple crown. :) #boxtops #supportourschool #harneyhelpers

We're baaaaaack! Don't worry, there's still a month of summer left, but we're here at Harney for Jump Start. It's been so great connecting with new Harney parents and seeing all these enthusiastic kindergarteners. If you haven't linked your @fredmeyerstores Community Rewards card to our school, you should! Make sure you sign up for the Free Friday Download program and we suggest donating the items to our FCRC. Also, collect your @boxtops4education because each box top is ten cents for our school. Catch us on Friday morning for coffee & nibbles!

Talent Show dress rehearsals are underway. Will you be joining us on Friday at 6p to watch these Harney superstars? #talentshow #harneylove #harneyhornets #superstar #harneysgottalent

Check out the new PTO Board for the 2017-2018 school year! We're missing a few people, but this turnout is amazing. We are meeting @boomerangvanwa in downtown Vancouver to discuss our plans for next year. So many fun and creative plans. Get ready for some pee-your-pants excitement! #harneyhelpers #vancouverwa #harneypto #weloveourschool #harneylove

Thank you to all our amazing volunteers for their love, time, hard work, and sweat (especially those who worked in our hot copy room!). Harney could not be such an amazing school without our supportive and committed community. Thank you! And thank you to the staff and students for the beautiful assembly! #harneyhelpers #thankyou #volunteers #harneylove

It's our final Harney Market (formerly known as the Fresh Food Pantry) of the school year! We have lots of great options and we're even going mobile! Katie will be working the back pick-up line and Annie will be working the front. Don't be shy, come on by...and make sure you take a loaf of organic bread with you. See you in the pick-up line or at 3p in the cafeteria. #alittleforall #sharingiscaring #harneyhelpers #harneylove

Whoo hoo! Congratulations, Hudson's Bay High School Graduating Class of 2017!! What a fun and festive parade through Harney as our entire school celebrated their amazing achievement with music, signs, and lots of cheering. Congratulations too all @vancouverpublicschools graduating seniors!

Takeaways from this morning's kindergarten visitation for Harney's incoming Hornets. So excited to see all these eager incoming kindergarteners hanging in classrooms with our incoming 1st graders!

Our Mission

The mission of the Harney Elementary PTO is to promote and encourage communication between parents, teachers, administration, and the community, for the benefit of our students.

The PTO sponsors and organizes fundraising and school events, which deepen our community spirit and enrich our children's educational, social, and developmental experiences.

WHO we are

The PTO is open to all parents and caregivers of Harney students, and all Harney teachers and staff. We strive to create an open and inclusive organization, with monthly meetings open to all (childcare is always provided). A PTO differentiates from the PTA in that we have no dues or fees and we are not part of a nationally recognized non-profit organization. Membership is not required, participation is purely voluntary, and ALL are welcome!

Please check our EVENTS page for upcoming meeting times and dates.
