Join the Highcrest PTO for the 2025-2026 School Year

5th Grade Families: As we look ahead to the next school year, the Highcrest Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) is seeking fun and dedicated committee members for the 2025-2026 academic year. We have several key roles that need your support:
After School Clubs Liaison: Work with the school to plan the after school clubs and create the Sign-Up Genius for students to participate. There are currently 4 clubs: Skyline, Chess, Debate, and Math. Without a liaison, we will not be able to support these programs next year.
President Elect: This is a two-year commitment, moving into the president spot for the 2026-2027 school year. It's a great opportunity to lead and shape the future of our PTO. As president elect, you will be working beside the president for the 2025-2026 school year. (Share with friends who may have an incoming 5th grader for the 25-26 school year!)
Hawk Hut: Plan and coordinate the Hawk Hut store, typically done in the cafeteria during lunch hours. It's a fun way to engage with students and manage school spirit merchandise.
Enrichment - 6th Grade Representative: Coordinate enrichment activities specifically designed for 6th graders with the help of the teachers.
Freaky Friday/Beach Bash (Chair): Organize the biggest events for our 5th and 6th graders at Highcrest. Freaky Friday is held in the Fall and Beach Bash in the Spring. It's a chance to create unforgettable experiences for our students.
Variety Show (Chair): Help organize and run the Variety Show, showcasing all student talent. Celebrate our students' creativity and skills in a fun show done in the Spring.
Membership Toolkit: Act as webmaster, updating monthly information and setting up any stores for programs/events.
Directory/Membership: Work behind the scenes to organize the PTO memberships and directory.
How to Get Involved: If you are interested in joining any of these committees or have questions, please reach out to Connie Moran at Barker2@mac.com. Thank you in advance for your support and commitment! We look forward to working together to create an incredible year at HMS!
