Volunteering
From baking brownies at home to working in the school library, volunteering opportunities at Hamilton are abundant and vary from one-time jobs, to on-going commitments. All contributions of time and energy are gratefully received! See our Volunteering page to find out how you can get involved!
Fundraising
Traditionally, we have limited fundraising to our annual Fall Fund Drive so that busy families do not have to juggle box tops, auctions, and move-a-thons.
Annual Fall Fundraising Drive
Hamilton International Middle School Annual Fundraising Drive Starts October 24th!
This year we have a total fundraising goal of $130,000.
Thank you ALL for helping us reach our goal!
We lift off again! This year heralds the return of in-school events, field trips, and opportunities to connect. Our Fall Fund Drive is the only major fund drive this year, and it’s your opportunity to support our staff and ALL of our students.
Thank you for helping make Hamilton International great for all of our kids. And GO HAWKS!
