September - Save the Dates!

There's a lot going on at HGF and the PTA has some cool stuff happening, too. Be sure to mark your calendars with the following dates:


Meeting Reminder for THIS WEEK!
Our first PTA meeting is this Wednesday at 6:30pm in the Library. All are welcome. If you wish to renew your PTA standing, please bring $5 cash or a check with you to the meeting.

Popcorn
Our first Popcorn day will be Thursday, September 24th. You can send your child with 50-cents for plain popcorn or 75-cents for cheese popcorn.

Volunteer Opportunity - We need a handful of volunteers to help with the popping and distribution. This is a about a 2-1/2 hour commitment. Please contact Hilary if you're able to help. You can volunteer weekly, every other week, monthly or just one time - whatever works for your schedule.

Volunteer Training 
Mrs. Matthews and Mrs. V invite all volunteers to attend a Volunteer Orientation/Training Meeting on 9/24/15 at 2:00pm in the library.  We will go over different topics that will include steps to working the copier machine, volunteer procedures and a short question and answer period.  We look forward to seeing you at the meeting and thank you for sharing your time and talents as volunteers!
