Hamilton has
an incomparable group of
teachers, staff and parents who
work hard to make this school a
wonderful, enriching environment
for everyone. The PTO needs
YOU! Everyone has
something to offer whether you
think you do or not, we can find
a way for you to help make a
difference!
WHY SHOULD I GET INVOLVED?
Because of your children and
because of your community.
Studies have shown that
membership in PTO provides
your child and other children
around you with a greater
chance of achieving in school.
As a PTO member, you are
more likely to be an informed,
involved parent.
HOW CAN I BENEFIT?
PTO
provides opportunities to meet
and to talk with other parents
who have the same goals,
aspirations and concerns as you. Being
part of PTO results in parental
support and makes school
involvement easier. The
PTO provides the opportunity to
serve, to volunteer, and to
contribute to the welfare of all
children, because children
represent our future
GOALS
for this year involve but are
not limited to providing
assistance to the Fine Arts
Department including the band,
art, drama and dance; putting
finishing touches on our new outdoor
classroom/learning center and hosting
regular family movie
nights for the
school/community in it; beautification
of the grounds especially the
front on 20th
Street; providing
teacher grants; organizing and
hosting events like Freaky
Friday Dance and SPRING THING; improving
communications with the
Administration/Staff by having
coffees with the principal
once a month; increasing PTO
membership school wide with
parents from all of the
different classes joining;
and, expanding our school
wide, parent email program for
notices/announcements.
Without
the PTO, we would not
have the ongoing improvements
of the new SPARK Park; over 50
new trees on the school
property; a new look for
the library; $5,000 in Teacher
Grants; SPRING THING; a
booth at the Heights Festival,
Teacher/Staff Appreciation
Programs; a successful
Administration/PTO/Parent
Partnership working together
for the betterment of HMS;
and, many more great things!
Annual dues for joining the PTO are $5.00 per person. New
member envelopes are in the
front office. You may also send
$5.00 to school in an envelope
clearly marked with PTO,
your name, address, phone number
and email address as well as
your child’s name and grade.
Have your child give this
envelope to their homeroom
teacher.
A school directory form is
attached. If you would like for
your child to be in the
directory, we must have this
form completed and returned to
the homeroom teacher.
Join because you care about your
child! Your child spends the
majority of his/her day at
Hamilton. Help us make it a
better place to learn and live!
Working together we can make
great things happen!
