The PTA funds many programs that our children benefit from every day, and we need your support. Programs such as PE, music, art, field trips, and so much more are funded through the PTA.  

Any donation amount is appreciated to meet our funding goals for the school year -- no donation amount is too small! All donations are tax deductible.

Fundraising for Garden

Our school garden, which is visited by all TK-5th grade classrooms once a week , needs community support to continue the wonderful educational and life experiences the students receive when they participate in caring for all aspects of the school garden

Garden equipment to continue support students participating in the garden: gardening gloves, watering cans, trowels, bags of soil, seeds, seed starters, garden hoses, etc.

Henry Ford PTA supports a portion of the garden needs but requires outside community support to help the program continue to flourish. We just lost funding for a designated garden teacher which allowed each classroom from TK-5th grade to have weekly visits and participate in lesson plans centered on planting, harvesting and caring for the garden.

Donate here to help support our garden!
