Warm holiday greetings to the Homewood school community.  It’s hard to believe that the 201 6/17 school year is almost half way through!  The Homewood PTA is delighted to continue to play an integral role in the social and educational development of our children in District 153. This, however, could not be possible without awesome volunteers like you.

Whether you served as a book fair volunteer, PBIS WOW cart, graduation gown measurement, provided delicious treats for teachers and administrators, do AVIC presentations, wore the bee costume, helped with or supported our fundraisers, or simply signing up to be a member of the PTA, every aspect of what you do, embody the very spirit of our PTA.

In addition to welcoming our new families, we also welcome new members to the PTA Board who, along with returning Board members, are making tremendous contributions of their time and talent, to see to the effectiveness and continuity of this organization. There are still many volunteer opportunities available.

Our next General Meeting will be January 12, 2017.  Special guests will be members of the H-F High School administration, and the H-F Parent Association.  Pertinent information regarding transitioning to, and navigating the rigors of high school will be communicated.  There will also be opportunities for you to get your questions answered.  Please join us.

Thank you all for your continued support of the Homewood PTA.  Have a blessed holiday season.

Ann-Marie Webster

President, Homewood PTA
