Hello, 5th grade parents! This year will be a particularly special one as your child embarks on his or her last year at Willard. As many of you may already know, the HSA helps organize a multitude of special events and activities for our 5th grade students to make their last year of elementary school a memorable one. In an effort to involve as many 5th grade parents as possible and limit the amount of work required by each individual, we would like to create volunteer committees for each of these events. We ask that you please take a brief moment to read through the list of events below and let us know if you are interested in volunteering. You can use this form to volunteer your time, as well as advise us of any particular skills and/or resources that may be useful.
