Due to district wide budget cuts that reduced the elective courses student could participate in, Hammocks Middle School PTSA decided to start an after school club program that offers the programs that were cut to their students. The PTSA surveyed students and asked them what programs they wanted to see in their school. The results of the survey became the focus of the after school club program and the PTSA began to implement the needs that were addressed in the survey results. Hammock Middle School PTSA will use their grant funds to showcase the after school club program to the parents and the community. During this event, the student body, parents and community partners will attend a spaghetti dinner in the school’s cafeteria. While dinner is being served and the school’s jazz club will play some dining music and have the school’s chorus will also sing some dining tunes. The meals will be prepared by the two cooking clubs with the assistance of hired help. At the Showcase, parents participate in the “Gallery Walk-thru” which will display the art and ceramics that were created by the students during their afterschool club. The showcase will close with two workshop classes on bullying and about the Hammock’s Homework Help center. The following day, the PTSA will invite parents to come be a “Teacher for a Day” and shadow their children around school.
