WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
PTA meetings are a great way to be among the first to know what is going on in our school and in the PTA. In addition to all the great PTA information that you will learn in one of our meetings, you get the added benefit of networking with other like-minded PTA parents that you might not otherwise get to know.
Think about it....
Be informed! You could be among the first to know about upcoming events and programs for your children.
Affect the future! You can provide valuable input about the direction of the Hawthorne PTA.
Meet some great people! You can network with other Hawthorne parents, teachers and administrators.
Share the enthusiasm! Kids love it when their parents are involved at school.
