PTA Reminders

Wishlist Distribution

Thank You For Your Wishlist Gifts!

Herndon Middle School teachers and the PTA would like to thank everyone who has purchased items off the school wishlist. During the staff meeting in March, items were placed out for distribution and our teachers were thrilled! We still welcome donations through our linked Walmart and Amazon wishlists.

Thank you again for helping make Herndon Middle School a fun and engaging environment for everyone!


Open PTA Board Positions

At the end of this school year, our Herndon Middle School PTA president and several other board members will be stepping down, as they have reached their term limits. To ensure the Herndon Middle School PTA continues to thrive and serve our community, we are seeking parents like you to step up and take on keyboard roles. Currently, we have openings for:

- President
- Vice President
- Communications Secretary
- Treasurer
- Back to School and Curriculum Night Committee Chair
- Corporate Sponsor Committee Chair
- Family Event Night Chair
- Spirit Wear Chair
- Teacher Representatives
- Website Administrator

Our current board is committed to a smooth transition and is ready to offer the necessary support to set you up for success. However, we need the active participation of new board members so that we can continue to support our community with events, scholarships, field trips, and capital improvement, as well as fostering strong connections between families, students, and staff.

Your involvement is crucial, and we would be delighted to have you on board! Please email president@hmspta.com with any questions, or additional info, or to express your interest.

Gift Card Donation

We are excited to express our gratitude to our incredible Herndon MS Staff! We kindly ask for your support in contributing towards a gift card. We aim to purchase a variety of retail vendor gift cards, including ones for Amazon, Target, Outback, Starbucks, and more, to distribute to our teachers. Our goal is to provide a gift card for at least half of our teachers. Your donation will make a significant difference in showing our appreciation for their hard work and dedication.

Also, if you have any unused gift cards lying around that you'd be willing to donate to our HMS Staff, we would be extremely grateful. You can drop off the cards at the office either yourself or through your student by Friday, April 26th. Please ensure the card(s) are placed in an envelope labeled "PTA".
