There are lots of different ways to be involved at Hamilton! Here are some areas where we currently need the most help:

Multicultural Night – Multicultural Night is a PTO-sponsored event devoted to celebrating the cultural diversity within our school community. The night includes a potluck dinner and a cultural program so that we can learn more about the cultural traditions and heritage of our friends and classmates. Please contact Lucy at [email protected] if you can help plan this great event.

Fall & Spring Staff Appreciation events – We are seeking volunteers to help plan these fun events for Hamilton staff! The fall staff appreciation luncheon/dinner takes place around the time of fall conferences in November. It is tentatively scheduled for Monday, November 12th. The PTO has a budget to allow for a catered main dish and families usually provide drinks, fruit, desserts, side dishes and decorations. The spring event is similar to the fall, but usually follows more of a breakfast/brunch theme. We’d love your help to show the teachers and staff how much we appreciate them! Please feel free to email Melissa Hornung, PTO volunteer coordinator, with any questions you have or if you would like more information about any of the events. Melissa’s email is [email protected] Thank you!
