The HW Community never ceases to amaze us...our deepest gratitude and thanks for your unrelenting support and generosity for our school! Because of your creative donations and magnitude of ticket sales, our reimagined Mayfest was a HIT! The proceeds will solely support projects and programs that benefit our children, teachers and school. We are extremely thankful to the committee that said "YES" to finding a way to keep Mayfest alive this year! Also, we are so grateful to the teachers and staff that celebrated our beloved tradition along with us. Watch out Mayfest 2022...we are coming for you...ALL TOGETHER!

This week marks another exciting HW tradition...FIELD DAY! We can't wait to see all the students and teachers in their awesome Field Day t-shirts! A treasured spring ritual that our teachers have cleverly reinvented for everyone to enjoy and have fun. Let the games begin!

In addition, this week the PTO Sign-Up Genius will be released on Tuesday at 9am. This is the master sign-up for all volunteer opportunities for next school year; from Back to School to 4th Grade Farewell-they are all on there! Make sure to finalize plans with your friends, get your crew together or convince your spouse or partner that NOW IS THE TIME to run one of our many cherished traditions! Without YOU, we can't do it-kindly consider throwing your hat in the ring, you won't regret it!

On Tuesday, May 18 at 9am, the PTO Committee Sign-Up will be sent out. Make sure to check your email! There are so many great ways to get involved; whether it is a one-day volunteer project or planning an event.  

Why sign up? It's a great way to make friends, get to know and support HW staff -- and directly enhance your child's school experience! Also, without parents, we simply can't run events and programs that the kids and staff have cherished for decades. Without parents, we would not have long-held traditions like The Book Fair, Mayfest, Field Day and Fourth Grade Farewell or new exciting events either!  PTO volunteers make the "perks" happen like world travelers, school assemblies, school photos, spirit-wear, pre-packaged school supplies, yearbook and hot lunch! Don't worry if you haven't helped with an event before, every event benefits from new ideas and new people helping. The HW PTO has a long history of making Hubbard Woods a very special place.

In a typical year, we invite everyone who volunteered for the PTO to a simple brunch to say THANK YOU for all their work during that school year.

Our heartfelt thanks to the many parents and teachers who contributed to the yearbook by collecting photos from classrooms and/or submitting photos from home. With your help, we were able to complete the yearbook so that the children will enjoy an end-of-year book signing in June.

Thank you for helping us keep this tradition alive! Rah, Rah, Rah for Hubbard Woods!
