Each year our PTA spends over $30,000 on the programs that make Stenwood the thriving, fun, and unique school community that we all love. Help the Hive is the primary way that we fund these programs.
Help the Hive is a direct giving campaign – meaning you donate directly to the PTA, and 100% of your money stays with the PTA for the benefit of the school. This direct giving approach allows our parents and students to focus on building and enjoying our school community – NOT fundraising.
