A Message from our PTSO President

Dear Hermitage Family,

I am writing to you on behalf of the Hermitage PTSO. We are a group of people dedicated to supporting our wonderful teachers, administrators, staff and students.  Thanks to those of you who have joined our community!  We are delighted you are part of the PTSO.

This year we plan to celebrate our seniors with some events at the end of the school year, and award scholarships to help three seniors continue their higher education.  We are going to have an amazing Teacher Appreciation Week in the spring, and provide our faculty, staff and administrators with snacks a few times throughout the year.  We are also working on renovating the Teacher’s Lounge.

Finally, we want to encourage all Hermitage parents, teachers and students to join the PTSO. It’s a quick and easy way to contribute to Hermitage.  

We want you to be a part of the PTSO!  We are happy to have all levels of involvement. If you can be a hands-on volunteer and serve ice cream during Teacher Appreciation week or donate a gift card to help purchase lunch, or something in between, you can make a difference at our school. We also have several board positions open if you are interested in being more involved.

Thank you for joining the PTSO, making a donation or a spirit wear purchase, or donating your time.

Roll Pride!

Sincerely,

Laura Stewart

Hermitage PTSO President
