A group of parents, teachers and community members working to build a happy, healthy learning community for our children.

Mission

The HHSA provides a forum for parents and teachers to work together to improve the school community. Each year the HHSA sponsors programs and activities that enhance student learning and promote family involvement in student achievement.

Who can be a member?

All family, teachers, staff, community members, and local business interested in supporting Hawthorne school can be members. So that means YOU!

While the HHSA board meets monthly to oversee the "business" side of the HHSA operations, the HHSA also sponsors monthly social and learning opportunities. Theses monthly gatherings are a great way for teachers and parents to come together and get to know each other.

When does HHSA meet?

HHSA gathers on the third Tuesday of the month from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. Food and childcare are always provided!

Each meeting include a brief business meeting and a special program for families to socialize and learn about a wide variety of issues. From curriculum to school funding to parenting issues, you name it. It it is of interest to our families we want to get together and talk about it!

What kind of activities does HHSA support?

In recent years HHSA has sponsored:

bulletParent information programs
bulletFamily Science Night
bulletAnnual Spring Picnic and Fall Open House
bulletField Trips
bulletTeacher appreciation luncheon
bulletClassroom discretionary funds
bulletBook fair
bulletFall carnival
bulletand much more !

How are these programs funded?

While the primary mission of the HHSA is to support programs at the school that encourages family involvement, in order to accomplish this we need money. So HHSA sponsors two major fundraisers each year, collects Cub foods receipts, "Box Tops", and Campbell's Soup "Labels for Education", and accepts donations from Hawthorne families, businesses and other supporters who share the HHSA goal to build a strong, vibrant community of learners.

How do I become a member?

Joining is easy. Just contact any of the officers or complete a membership form and drop it in the HHSA-PTA mailbox located in the main. There is no fee to join. Signing up as a member-volunteer is a great way to show your support for the school and to connect with other families, staff and programming her at Hawthorne.

For more information on the HHSA-PTA, contact any of the officers or drop a note in the HHSA-PTA mailbox mailbox located in the main office.
