Mission

Hamilton Action Team (HAT) is comprised of parents, educators, and friends of Hamilton Elementary School. Our primary mission is to raise funds to support school programs at Hamilton, promote Hamilton Tigers spirit, and enhance the school’s relationship with the surrounding community.

HAT meetings are held the third Thursday of the month at 6:oo pm in the library prior to the LSC meeting. Check the school calendar for upcoming meeting dates. Childcare is available for $2 per child.

Through a variety of fundraising activities, HAT supports the programs and activities of the Hamilton community. Among other things, this past year HAT funds were used to create a community teaching garden, enhance technology, renovate the gym and provide classroom white boards.
