HBUMP Parent Council
2024 - 2025 | Chair: Robyn Patterson
HBUMP is fortunate to have a vibrant parent council that supports our school in many ways throughout the year. The Parent Council organizes volunteers and plans details for the following areas:
Classroom Partners
Each class typically has 1-2 classroom partners who support the teachers in organizing celebrations, securing library books, honoring birthdays of our teachers, arranging playdates, and more!

Contacts: Molly Glasgow (Chair), Holly Schiltz
Teacher Appreciation
In addition to the incredibly special and beloved Teacher Appreciation week, this team also coordinates parents to “stock the fridge” and provide generous staff meeting lunches. ​
​
Contacts: Rachel White (Co-Chair), Catie Dean (Co-Chair)
Fundraising
This team organizes the annual “No Fuss Fundraiser” and is involved with the planning of additional events that generate much-needed additional funds that support the many “extras” HBUMP offers.

Special Events
This team plans details and decorates for our Halloween Parade, Christmas Chapel, Donuts with Grownups, Music & Muffins, and Moving Up Ceremony.

Involving Families in OUR Classrooms
Each year, our teachers will find ways for you to get involved in your child’s classroom. Examples include:
-
Voting on classroom project ideas
-
Participating in the ‘Culminating Event’ of a project
-
Gathering library books or creating project-focused sensory bins
-
Providing classroom coverage, if needed
-
Sharing careers, talents, or interests by leading activities in the classroom
-
Preparing a traditional dish from your culture or family to be shared during snack or lunch time
-
Participating as a “mystery reader” during circle time
