We welcome ALL FAMILIES to attend our meetings (whether or not you are officially a member)!

General membership meetings are held in person at Hawthorne. They give our families a chance to connect, ask questions and share ideas about how we can all help Hawthorne be the best it can be. Votes requiring general membership approval (such as budget approval and election of officers) also take place at these meetings. General membership meetings may also feature potlucks, activities like bingo and visits from the principal. FREE childcare is provided.

Business meetings focus more on the nitty-gritty details of the business we are required to take care of as a PTA and non-profit. They are usually held online and anyone may join in!
