| The small but mighty Beautification Crew has been hard at work. We picked up litter, super volunteer Alex Valdez trimmed trees along the walkways on campus, and we cleaned up debris under the field bleachers. We are currently working to repair damaged bleachers and fix a leaking sprinkler under the bulldog. Would you like to volunteer at your own time on the weekends? just an hour of work makes a huge difference. Join our crew! Email beautification@heightspto.org. Join us for a day of service on 16 November, 9:00 - 11:30. Don't forget your water bottles and garden gloves!
This is an easy way to earn service hours, get some time in the sunshine, and help your school. |

All of the money raised by the PTO, including membership fees, stays 100% at our school. It is *not* mandatory for members to attend meetings or volunteer, but members are very welcome to contribute in a way that works for you! We have general meetings throughout the year. Exact dates and times of our general meetings will always be posted to Facebook and Instagram and in our PTO newsletter. There are six membership levels for the 2024-2025 HHS PTO.
