Heights Cares

Fundraiser Update

✅ What's New:

We've learned that CAPTA regulations require that 501(c)3 organizations receiving donations from California PTAs have a mission that directly benefits children. In light of this criteria change for nominations, we're extending the deadline for submissions to 10/12!

✅ What's The Same:

To participate in the selection process, submit this nomination form. If you previously submitted a nomination that would not qualify (e.g., a charity benefitting animals), please feel free to submit a new one!

Nominate a charity

Please come and join us for our FIRST Sci Fri of the year from 5-7pm in the MUR. We will be hosting the incredible Wild Man Dan Show!

It is an educational and interactive family show that will inspire you to live wild and love nature. Come by to see snakes, lizards, spiders, scorpions, and more...

We're dividing the show into two sessions catered to different ages (5-6pm for K-2nd, 6-7pm for 3rd-6th). However, this is just a suggestion -- any grade is welcome to attend either session.

What's new in the Heights Garden? In anticipation of winter harvests, we've been planting several varieties of lettuce, peas, and carrots. Thank you, student club members and parent volunteers, for your hard work!
