Quick Annual Appeal update:

We want to extend a big "THANK YOU" to those who ate at Qdoba for the fundraiser on September 30. Thanks to our supportive Hamilton Middle families like yours, we raised almost $200, which was added to our Annual Appeal fundraiser total.

With all of the donations together, then, we are over 70% to our goal of $5,000 by October 31, with a total of $3559.83! Could you please help us reach our goal by the end of the month?

To give immediately, scan a QR code from the flier or send a check to the school. Another, upcoming opportunity is to visit the City Barbeque restaurant on Sligo Drive in Madison on October 28, during our City Barbeque Fundraiser .

We hope everyone is enjoying the Labor Day holiday weekend!

If you didn't get the chance at Open House, we ask that you please take a moment to complete our quick survey.

This will help the PTO to prioritize the fundraisers YOU, our Velma Hamilton Middle families value, which will allow us to narrow down the fundraisers we implement to best serve your scholars.
