Happy Father's Day to all Hommocks dads!
We would like to congratulate our graduating 8th graders and wish them the best of luck in high school. For those families who are graduating their last Hommocks student, we wish you well.
A huge thank you to all of you who became members of the PTA and those of you who volunteered over the course of the year. Whether you chaired a committee, planned an event, sold tickets at lunch, chaperoned a dance, sent in donations of materials or volunteered in another way this year, your efforts are truly appreciated.
We wish everyone a wonderful summer!
