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!

Welcome to Velma Hamilton Middle School!

A great way to get involved at VHMS is with the PTO. The PTO meets monthly and we help out with and organize several events throughout the school year. All our efforts are directed at providing support for our students, and the school’s teachers and staff. For example, we organize staff appreciation events, coordinate parent volunteers at school sponsored events, and provide grants for students to attend events. We also fundraise to support these activities.

If you want to be involved, but don’t want to attend meetings, that’s OK! We need lots of volunteers for activities. If you are interested in volunteering, contact PTO Volunteer Coordinator Melissa at [email protected] We also would love to hear your ideas about activities to support and fundraising!
