PTA Spring Updates
We have LOTS of upcoming PTA events that we need VOLUNTEERS for!!
Please consider helping with 1 or more of the below opportunities – some are volunteer based and some are donation based, so there are many ways to contribute!
SPRING BOOK FAIR – Thursday, 3/21 – Friday, 3/29 – Come help us sell books!

Cake and Soda Bottle Donations – Carpool/Office Drop from Monday, 4/1 – Thursday, 4/4 https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c4aa5ae2faafc1-cake1
In addition to upcoming volunteers for Teacher Appreciation, the Hosp PTA is still in need of a SPONSOR for our Teacher Appreciation Lunch. This can be a local/family owned business that would like to participate in covering some or all the cost for this very important lunch. We as a PTA want to give the greatest thanks to the educators of our school and with sponsorship help, we can do that much more. If you would be willing to help, please email Heather Hayward at president@hosppta.org.
Lastly, we can’t encourage you enough to volunteer for a PTA Committee or Chair position next fall. As I mentioned earlier, without the help of our parents and volunteers, PTA would not be able to do what all it does for our wonderful Hosp students. Please keep in mind that 80% of our current Hosp Board & Committee Chairs work full time while continuing to give back to the school through PTA. We encourage you to review the form, ask any questions you might have and know that we as a PTA work together every single day to help ensure the best programs for our children. We hope you will consider signing up for the 2019-2020 school year!
