This Week @ Hale August 29-September 4

Getting Involved

Volunteers Needed: Hale Open House Thursday, September 1 (5-7:30pm) We're looking for a few more volunteers to help welcome families to Hale during Open House this week. Shifts will be short so you can still fully participate with your own family. Jobs will be fun and easy, and volunteering is a great way to meet other Hale families. If you can offer 45 minutes of help either before or after your classroom visit, please sign up here. September Hale PTA Meeting Monday, September 12 (7-8:30pm) Hale PTA meetings will be held the 2nd Monday of each month. Attending a meeting is a great way to connect with other families and find out what’s happening at Hale. Our September meeting will be held in person and outside (weather permitting) in a member’s backyard.  There are no fees or requirements to join the Hale PTA—everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend! For meeting agenda and location details, contact haleptacochair@gmail.com. Open Positions & Volunteer Opportunities We have the following positions open for the 2022-2023 school year. If you are interested in helping or know someone who would be great in one of these roles, please contact Anne Keasling (haleptacochair@gmail.com) to learn more. Positions needing to be filled: PTA Co-chair Winter Art Event (Arty Party) Fall All-School Event Room Reps (one per classroom) Committees seeking additional volunteers: Fall Literacy Event Community Engagement / Social Committee (one or more per grade level) Would you like to help with something else next year? Do you have an idea you’d like to float? No two years need to look that same, and any committee would love to have your help. Please join us! Email haleptacochair@gmail.com, and we will help find a place for you on the Hale PTA.
