What We Do
With your help, HMS PTA makes the following possible:
- VIP Day
- Student End of Year Celebrations
- Online Herrick family directory (Directory Spot)
- Support numerous Herrick clubs (Chess, Art, Guitar, PRISM, Unplugged, etc.)
- LRC Enrichments and Music Enrichments
- Local administration of Reflections national fine arts competition
- Fortnightly: Dance and etiquette classes for 8th graders
- Support for Herrick staff, including retirement celebrations, Staff Appreciation Week, & luncheons
- 8th grade promotion ceremony
- Donations to Bloom’s Angels to help students in need
There are several opportunities for parents to get involved with the many committees we are bringing back for the 2026 – 2027 School Year. The work involved is minimal so please consider signing up – without your help, we cannot run these important programs. Please contact us for more information. Thank you!
