Fall Staff Luncheon
Fri, 11/09/2018 - 8:29am
Every year our PTSA hosts a luncheon for the Hammond staff during conference week, this year is Monday 11/19. This helps to fuel them for some long days and gives the teachers more time to prepare so they do not have to worry about running out. While the PTSA has budgeted for the main items, help with a few other things is needed. If you are interested in helping, please click on this link and sign up today: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0F4FAAAB2EA2F58-fall1
