GETTING BACK TO IN-PERSON EVENTS

As we transition as a community, state, and country back to more normalcy since the pandemic began, we are making plans for resurrecting some of our in-person gatherings. As things change, so will specifics, but we want to go ahead and give our members an idea of our plans.

Luncheons: Our May and June luncheons will remain virtual. We do not have a luncheon in July. We plan to resume in-person luncheons in August.
Ribbon Cuttings: For the most part, our ribbon-cutting events have remained the same. We encourage the following of CDC guidelines, including the use of masks and social distancing, if applicable.
Shopping and Signature Events: Currently, our shopping and signature events will move forward with minimal changes. Individual businesses may have their own mask and social distancing requirements. 

Business Sponsorships Available Through HHS PTO
The Homewood High School PTO is offering an opportunity for a limited number of sponsorships for local businesses. HHS PTO serves the school community by supporting school spirit and teacher appreciation events. Sponsors will be spotlighted on the website throughout the year and premium sponsors will receive special recognition through school communications.
