In the Spotlight

Volunteer Incentive!

When you attend a PTO meeting or volunteer to help at one of our PTO events each quarter, you'll be invited to eat lunch with your child at school on a designated day at the end of the marking period! Quarter 1 ends on Friday, October 30 which is our date for volunteer lunch.

Quarter 1 Qualifying Events:

Sept 15: PTO Meeting Attendance
Oct 1: Boosterthon (must volunteer to help out with the event, not just in the cheering section as a spectator)
Aug/Sept/Oct: take pictures at school events for Yearbook Committee

Fine Print:

Volunteers must sign in at the PTO meeting or at the event with your name and email address or use the specific Sign-Up Genius online sign up and then check in with the PTO board/committee member during the event so we have a valid count of who has volunteered.
Parents will not be able to order from the cafeteria. Your child may order lunch from the cafeteria as usual, but the adult must bring their own lunch. Adults are welcome to bring their child a lunch or the child can also pack a lunchbox.
Only the parent who volunteered may have lunch with their child due to space limitations. If mom volunteered, do not also bring dad and grandma with you, only mom can come to lunch.
If you have multiple children at HES, you are welcome to eat lunch with all of them during their designated lunch times, but other children may not be pulled out of class to attend lunch with another grade. Parents will have to exit the building and wait for their next child's half hour lunch time block.

We're excited to share our QR code for Zelle! As busy parents, we know many folks want to help, but are limited on time, or would like to donate, but don't always have cash. We hope this is an easy platform for those interested in donating. Please make a note of what you'd like the donation to go towards in the memo line of the Zelle transfer. If the QR code does not work, use your bank app to Zelle to HeronPTO@gmail.com.
