Hyde Park School Library End of Year!
The HPS Library will stop checking out new books this coming Monday, May 15, in preparation for the end of the school year. Parents can help us wrap up the year by sending in all HPS Library books you have in your home! You can identify books that belong to the HPS Library by the white stickers with the school logo on the spines of the books. Parents and children can drop books in the blue bin just inside the door of the library at any time, or send books via teachers or the office. Help us get our shelves filled again so we can do summer inventory and prepare for next year!

Restaurant
Night Roundup
Every school year the PTO fills the calendar with a variety of “Restaurant Nights” to build community and raise funds for the school. Before our feet hit the street seeking restaurants to participate, we thought we’d offer up the opportunity to any of our Hyde Park School parents first. We are fortunate enough to have many HPS parents who own/manage restaurants, many of which have participated in these events in the past.
We’ll begin assembling the calendar for the 2017-18 school year soon, so please reach out if you are interested in hosting a Restaurant Night. Please contact Beth McPeek (
beth1abell@aol.com) for details.

017-18 Basketball Coordinator Needed
|
We Can't Do It Without You!
The Hyde Park School Athletics Department needs a volunteer to fill the open Basketball Coordinator position for the 2017-18 school year. You will be trained on how to accomplish the responsibilities of the role and will have full support from the Athletic Director.
This position is perfect for a parent who wants to get involved but isn’t keen on being a coach. It’s work that can be done from a desk or in the evenings when schedules allow. Our basketball program already has pre-stablished systems in place, all we need is you!!
We encourage you to join in this exciting part of the HPS community. Our current basketball program is successful and with your fresh ideas and enthusiasm we can make it even better! Contact Will Menz at HPS.Athletics@mail.com.

Below, are the three nominees on the ballot for the LSDMC Representative. Voting will take place Monday, May 15th 8:15 a.m. in Room 139 (Music Room).
LSDMC Representative:
Commit to attend all, to the extent practicable, of the LSDMC meetings (one meeting per month). Must have a child enrolled at HPS. Can commit to a two year term ending June 2019.
LSDMC Nominees:
Peter Riddle- We currently have a graduating 6th grader at HPS (Abigail Riddle), as well as a 3rd grader (Jackson Riddle). Both of them attended Kilgour through 2nd grade, where I have been on the PTA board since the 2011-2012 school year. In our four years at HPS, we have been impressed with its strong community and dedication displayed by parents, students, faculty, and staff. With the school's growth and planned solutions to address space issues, I feel that I can serve the LSDMC by providing valuable input in setting goals and plans for these solutions as well as assessing progress in implementation.
Jamie Castle- I grew up in Greenhills, Ohio and went to Roger Bacon High School. I was a Miami University graduate and have a Secondary Education major in Communications with a minor in Theater and went back to Roger Bacon to teach English and Theater. Since having children I have been a stay at home mom with a sewing business on the side. My husband grew up in Baltimore, Maryland and graduated from UC. He is the CFO at Boca Restaurant Group. Our children are Luciana (Lucy) who just turned nine and my son Finnegan who will soon be seven. Being at HPS has been a very easy transition for my children and they are very happy here with their new friends and all of the wonderful resources that HPS has to offer.
Tracy Murnahan- I am a mother to Elliot and Oliver Murnahan Stegman who are both first graders at HPS. I have been so pleased in the leadership and the involvement from the staff and parents of HPS and love that the boys can be part of a neighborhood school. When I am not in my favorite role of ‘Mama’, I am a Senior Marketing Director for a financial firm and received my MBA from Xavier University. I feel that my marketing and business leadership experience could benefit the LSDMC. And with 2 boys just starting out at HPS, I want to do what I can to help HPS reach its full potential.
