Homework Helpers and Reading Ambassadors at the Hinsdale Public Library

11/26/2023 11:08 am

EVERY Tuesday and Thursday, 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. in the Teen Lounge

Getting homework help from a high school student is fun! Students K-8 can drop in during our Homework Helpers and Reading Ambassadors sessions to receive help from a local high school student. HPL's High School Homework Helpers and Reading Ambassadors can help with homework and read with younger students. 

Parents will sign in their students and find an available volunteer at one of our designated tables. Homework Helpers and Reading Ambassadors are fun, free and available on a drop-in basis every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon.

FAMILY FUN FEST 5/17/24 - WE NEED YOU!

11/12/2023 8:38 am

Family Fun Fest is planned for May 17th, 2024, and we need you!

To keep this loved tradition alive, we need our Monroe parent community to help. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the actual Science Fair for 2024 due to lack of parent involvement, and we do not want that to happen to Family Fun Fest! (don't fret- our season of science will still go on with some amazing plans!).

The DJ has been booked, the rides have been secured! A lot of the leg work has been done already.

Please CLICK HERE to view the SignUp Genius and read what the commitment entails. You can make the event you own!

Questions? As always, please feel free to email Erin Hanna or Sarah LeStrange @president@monroeschoolpto.com. No question is too big or small. Thank you Monroe parents!
