Harvard Elementary’s annual PTA Gala is our biggest fundraiser of the year — and it’s always an unforgettable evening of music, exciting performances, and extravagant fun with the Harvard community. Guests can bid on incredible items donated by our generous local supporters, including vacation homes, unique experiences, and much more.
Every donation and bid directly supports Harvard students by funding creative programs, inspiring in-school assemblies, and vital teacher resources.
For 2026, we’re setting big goals:
Adding much-needed shade structures to the playground for the whole community to enjoy
Refreshing our campus with new and updated murals
With your support, we can make these improvements a reality. Join us in reaching our fundraising goal — and help Make Harvard POP!
