Hello Parents! We know the holidays are a very busy time of year but wanted to make sure everyone is aware of the current fundraiser going on at Hamilton. Your child should have brought home an order form for yard signs. This allows parents, grandparents, coaches or friends the opportunity to display their pride right in their front yard! These signs can be personalized for each student or fan for any sport, band, choir, or scholars like honor roll or principals list. All orders and money due in by Monday, December 4th. We can’t wait to drive through our neighborhoods and see your yards displayed with Wildcat pride! Goooo wildcats!
