There’s a simple way for you to help your child succeed:
Join the Hewitt PTA – today!
Your children need you!
More than 30 years’ worth of research has proven that children do better when their
parents are involved both at home and at school. Grades and test scores climb.
Self-esteem grows. Schools improve.
The PTA brings parents, school faculty, students and the community together in a
number of ways that make a significant difference in the education and quality of life of
our children. Your annual membership dues of just $8.00 for one member / $14.00
for two members helps pay for wonderful school activities at Hewitt. In past years,
