Hosts are responsible for kindly opening their home, inviting parents, and providing some beverages. Attendees should bring a dish to share.

Sustainable Hanna

Hanna has committed to sustainability by conserving valuable materials and resources. We try to avoid paper and plastic waste at our functions and educate our children on how to care for our environments and greater world. This committee will continue to help us improve our environmental policies and find opportunities to enhance our recycling, composting and encourage participation from our entire community.

Tech Committee

(Mac/Apple knowledge necessary): The Hanna staff rely on technology to document children’s learning and to share this with you! We often have tech “issues” that come up that surpass our skill level. Parents with technical expertise in the area of Mac computers and website problem solving are needed throughout the year. Volunteers are often needed in a semi urgent nature to problem solve and other times throughout the year to support appropriate computer updates, etc.

It is recommended that committee members have knowledge of Final Cut Pro or other editing software and be able to take a project from initial videotaping to post production.
