What a great Help Hauser Hunger Drive we had!

As of Friday, we have reached a total of 6,779  cans and a few more are still trickling in.  Look for the grand total next week.  6th grade clinched the grade by grade competition and they will have a Friday Fun afternoon coming up. Congratulations 6th grade on a job well done!  The final totals were…..

6th grade – 2,726

8th grade –2,706

7th grade – 1,071

On Saturday, nearly 400 volunteers came out to pack 30,000 meals for hungry children and families.  It was an amazing day!  To make that happen, we raised $10,796 to purchase the food supplies for packing. We will also be purchasing some additional canned/non-perishable food with the donations collected.  All the food will be delivered to the Riverside Food Pantry and the Salvation Army Red Shield Center Food Pantry in Endglewood next week.

It was an incredible act of kindness by the Hauser community….one we should all be very proud off.   Thanks for the bottom of our hearts!

Hauser PTO’s next food fundraiser is at Blaze Pizza on Tuesday, March 12th from 4:00-8:30pm. Bring the whole family to the Blaze location at 7122 W. Cermak Rd. in Berwyn for an italian dinner.  No time to sit down, you can order out too.  Make sure to bring the attached flyer to present when placing or picking up order.     Hauser PTO will earn 20% of total sales.  Thanks for your support!

The PTO is in need of volunteers for the 2019 Nominating Committee.

According to the by-laws, we need (2) members from the PTO Executive Board and (3) members from the membership at large. The committee meets over the next month in order to prepare a proposed slate for presentation at an upcoming PTO General Meeting.  If you are interested in helping to select a slate for the 2019/2020 Hauser PTO Executive Board, please contact Amy Ricco, Parliamentarian, aricco@gmail.com.

On Saturday, March 2nd we will be holding Feed Our Community Day.  On this special day in March, we will be packing tens of thousands of “Meals of Hope” for hungry children and families.  We are looking for some adult  and/or student volunteers to take a leadership position and help manage one of the tables during the packing shifts.  A table captain is responsible for providing instruction, guidance and motivation for their team in order to accurately pack as many meals as possible during their shift while having a good time!  It is a great job a junior high or high school student looking for community service hours.   There will be a training session Friday, March 1st at 4:00pm or Saturday, March 2nd at 8:00am.
