Parents, we need your support
Dear Hutchinson Parents,
Each year the Hutchinson parents host an event for our students. Parents contribute to the event in the following ways:
- Volunteering for booth and operating shifts
- Sponsoring booths
- Joining the carnival committee and helping to plan the event
- Making posters and decorations for the booth
Our annual Hutchinson Event this year is a Cultural and History Fair and will be held on Wednesday, May 17th from 2:00 – 5:00. Please keep an eye out for information on how you can help, ticket sales, and event details in upcoming PTA newsletters and the hutchinsonhaws.org website.
In the past, Hutchinson has hosted a Halloween Haunt on campus. While it was VERY popular with the kids, we lacked the parent-power last year to hold it on a larger scale with more activities. We heard about it afterwards…The biggest feedback last year was that the students wanted more activities!
We would like to offer a Cultural and History Fair (Wednesday, May 17th), but need a group of Event-Hosting parents to step up and take it on. We have some things that can be used for decoration, but would need donations of much more. If you are interested, or have Cultural and History Fair decorations that you could give for the event, https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0F4AAEAC29A2FD0-hutchinson6. If you are interested in joining the committee, please email Mrs. Leon at tleon@nlmusd.org. We also are in need of volunteers to man the game booths. Even if you yourself cannot make it please try to recruit family members (i.e.: grandparents’, siblings 18 and over, aunts/uncles) Please sign- up below
