Hanover Middle School PTA Information and Volunteer Opportunities 9/12/23
Hello Hanover Middle School families and welcome back to school! We hope your kiddos had a great first week and everyone is settling into their routines. This message contains a lot of HPTA information and volunteer links so please read through to the end!
As we kick off the school year, we are well underway with Hanover Parent Teacher Alliance (HPTA) activities and planning for a terrific school year. We had a great kick-off event with Lil' Dukes in August and were able to provide lunch for all of our teachers and staff as they moved back into their classrooms - huge thanks to our great school representatives who made everything look wonderful and to Panera Bread and Shaw's for their efforts and donations.
HPTA One-Time Donation Campaign
As part of our fundraising to support all of our schools, we have launched our One-Time Donation Campaign that will run through September. Feel free to share!
Please check out our website, social media as well as your kiddo's individual school social page Hanover Middle School PTA Facebook page. Feel free to reach your school reps via their email hanovermiddleschoolpta@gmail.com.
HPTA sponsors many events that heighten the culture and climate of HMS for both students and staff. To support the HPTA, please read the One Time Donation Letter or visit the campaign donation on the HPTA website directly. All donations are welcome and appreciated!
HPTA Night at Sullivan's
This year, we are excited to announce that we have expanded our team to include a Community and Social Engagement Committee. We are hoping to have some great events throughout the year.
Our next event is September 28, 2023 at Sullivan's of Hanover from 6:00-8:00 pm. Ask for the Blue Room and Sullivan's is generously donating a portion of the proceeds from the evening to the HPTA. This will be for dine-in only.
