Hospitality Helpers

The Hospitality Helpers plays a crucial role in showing our appreciation for the hardworking teachers and staff by providing meals or snacks once a month. Some of these events are generously sponsored by the PTA, while others rely on the support of our wonderful community members to contribute soups, pies, appetizers, and other treats. Your involvement would not only enrich our school environment but also offer a rewarding way to connect with other parents and support our dedicated educators. Please fill out this form if you'd like to get involved more and contact hospitality@deepwoodpta.org if you have further questions. 

This Month's Event: 

Tailgate Lunch on Friday, September 12 - Sign up here
