Save the date!! Mark Your calendars. Our first Movie Matinee will be on Friday, September 29th! We will be showing SUPER MARIO BROS.!!!
Thank you to all who were able to attend our first PTO meeting of this school year.
For those that couldn't make it, there are still plenty of opportunities to be involved.
Our first event is our well loved Movie Matinee. Please sign up to volunteer or donate here https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0849AAA628A5F4C70-movie
If you don't have time to volunteer but still want to help, check our Amazon.com wishlist.
We are also looking for help with our October Teacher appreciation event which will be on Tuesday October 2. Email the PTO at hwespto@gmail.com to get more information.
Finally we have also started planning our annual Trick-or-Treat trail and are looking for businesses who would like to participate by hosting a vendor table. We don't charge a fee to host a table, but ask that you provide candy and/or treats to the kids. Please email hwespto@gmail.com so we can get you on the list!!!
