Committees

Hampstead PTSA is successful because of our families! Volunteering your time is an inexpensive way to meet the needs of our school, make an effective contribution to your child’s school experience, and show your child that you value his/her education. If we each contribute 1 HOUR we can accomplish so much! Without volunteers like you, many of the PTSA events and activities would not be possible. You can help during the day or at night, at the school or from your home.

Below you will find a list of annual events and programs run by the Hampstead PTSA and its many volunteer families.

Volunteers are needed to help set up in the HCS Cafeteria, to assist children in their purchases, to wrap gifts and to help clean up after the event.
