Harvard Elementary’s annual PTA Gala is our biggest fundraiser of the year—and one of the most anticipated nights on the Harvard calendar. It’s an unforgettable evening filled with music, exciting performances, incredible experiences, and plenty of Harvard Magic.
Guests can bid on an amazing selection of items generously donated by our local supporters, from vacation getaways and one-of-a-kind experiences to family favorites and so much more.
Every ticket, donation, and winning bid makes a difference. Gala proceeds directly support Harvard students and teachers, funding creative programs, inspiring in-school assemblies, essential teacher resources, and the experiences that make Harvard such a special place to learn.
Our 2027 Goals
This year, we’re dreaming even bigger. With the support of our Harvard community, we hope to:
Update and enhance the Harvard “Sports Court” Pavilion to create an improved space for our school community.
Bring more music to Harvard by exploring new opportunities for students to experience, engage with, and enjoy music at school.
Together, we can turn these goals into reality. Join us in making an impact for our students, strengthening our school community, and keeping the Harvard Magic alive for years to come.
