Our "Patrick Henry Cares" fundraiser is dedicated to supporting students in need during the festive season. Each year we assemble raffle baskets with a variety of gift cards and experiences. These baskets are raffled off to teachers to help raise funds that go to items our PHMS students may need. This year we are opening up two raffle baskets for parents/guardians to participate in the fundraising event. Winners will be contacted on Wednesday, December 18th.

Curious what the Patrick Henry Staff like to do for fun? How about plan and execute "Underground Dress-Up Week!" Staff planned secret dress-up days to see if admin and students would notice. We did our best to let them think it was all just a coincidence! It was fun to hear comments from students once they started to figure out the theme for each day!
