Call for Materials, Building Expertise, & Human Power to Prepare Classrooms for Reopening |
In efforts to prepare classrooms for reopening with as many health and safety measures in place as possible, HPS is seeking materials, building expertise, and human power to create plexiglass barriers for indoor classrooms and to assemble picnic tables for outdoor eating and/or outdoor classrooms.
These efforts are all self-funded by the HPS PTO, so we are seeking to be cost-efficient by surveying our community for connections, resources, and assistance in this endeavor before resorting to costly prebuilt dividers. If you have a source for raw materials in bulk for plexiglass barriers like those seen in the pictures below; if you happen to be the handy type with the know-how to build such structures; or if you can volunteer some time to assemble, we could use your help! Please contact president@hydeparkschoolpto.org if you have a source for materials, could help build dividers, or assemble picnic tables. Thank you!
