We need you!
The Spring Celebration is Hyde Park School's largest fundraiser of the year and planning is underway! This Adults Only event will take place on
Friday April 17th from 7-11 pm at Mad Tree Brewing,
and WE NEED YOU!
Yes, we need LOTS of volunteers. Volunteer opportunities are abound, suiting everyone's interests, strengths, and time constraints. Some volunteer roles include seeking donations from local businesses, creating raffle baskets, and helping on the day of the event. But there are many other options too. We always have a fun group of volunteers! You can check out all of the available roles at
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508084ca4ae2fa3fb6-spring5
.
Funds from this event
directly benefit our children by bringing all proceeds directly to our Hyde Park School. This helps bridge the gap between CPS funding and the needs of our students at HPS. So
start getting babysitters lined up for the
Spring Celebration on Friday, April, 17th from 7-11PM at MadTree Brewing.
