We need you!
Spring Celebration Planning is underway! Thanks to everyone who came out to our Volunteer Happy Hour earlier this month. This adults only event is Hyde Park School’s largest fundraiser for the year. All funds raised from this event will directly impact our children by bridging the gap between CPS funding and the needs of our students.
We need LOTS of volunteers.... remember that there are many different roles, suiting anyone’s interests / time constraints. Some include seeking donations from local businesses, creating raffle baskets, helping on the day of the event, and many other options. 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.
Make sure to start getting those babysitters lined up! Spring Celebration 2020 will take place on
Friday, April, 17th from 7-11PM
at MadTree Brewing.

Sunday January 26
th
at 2:00pm (vs. Temple Lady Owls)
You’ve been hearing about it for weeks. Come one, come all! The registration link has been established for the UC Women’s Basketball Game fundraiser! Coincidentally and, more important, serendipitously, UC Athletics Hall of Famer, Olympic Gold Medalist, and HPS’ own Ms. Wineberg will be honored at halftime of this very game for her extensive contributions to girls and women in sports. It should be a great afternoon, so get your tickets today! Proceeds go to the HPS Boosters, supporting the increased cost of renting gym space for the Eagle basketball program this season.
