HIMS Friday News
May 27, 2025
Dear Hamilton Community,
As we head into this three-day weekend, as a reminder there is no school on Monday, May 26 in celebration of Memorial Day. We wish everyone a restful and memorable weekend with family and friends.
Please see some important reminders and announcements below.
Important Announcement From the PTSA
~~ SEEKING A PRESIDENT OR CO-PRESIDENTS FOR NEXT YEAR’s PTSA~~
We need a PTSA president for next year, as it’s a critical role for a PTSA to be allowed to operate in Washington state. Better yet, two friends can be co-presidents and lighten the load. For co-presidents, you can expect to volunteer an average of 2 hours a week and play a valuable role in addressing vital school needs and building strong community. Email president@hamiltonptsa.org to chat or recommend people.
