PTO Meeting next week – Strengthening Connections

February 4 at 5:30 pm in the library

Our PTO plays a vital role in shaping the experiences our students have every day at Hygiene. From supporting classroom learning to bringing our community together through traditions like the Talent Show in March and Hawk Air in April, the work of the PTO directly impacts our students, staff, and families.

This winter meeting is a chance to strengthen the connections that make this work possible. We’ll reflect on how our community comes together, look ahead to upcoming events, and ensure the PTO continues to be a welcoming and meaningful way for families to support our school.

Whether you’ve been involved for years or are just beginning to engage, your time, voice, and ideas truly matter. Together, we can continue building experiences that reflect the heart of Hygiene and support every child. Please come and hear from an elite group of parent leaders from PTO to Hawk Air volunteers!

Children to welcome to come.
