PTO Meetings

Our monthly meetings are a time to connect and discuss ideas for contributing to a rich and fulfilling environment at Hardy via our many task forces, committees and initiatives. 

At the September meeting, we will discuss ideas for fundraising, including a possible collaboration Goldfish Swim School in Burlington and our annul Direct Donation Drive. 

We will also hear updates from Principal Saunders and our teach representative on how the first weeks of school are going.

Do you have questions or topics you'd like to discuss? Please email president@hardypto.com to be added to the agenda.
