Hedenkamp PTA Statement on Inclusion

In an effort to better embrace our diverse community, Hedenkamp PTA will continue to evolve and expand our existing programs to be more inclusive. The “Mother-Son Dance” and the “Father-Daughter Dance” will be known as “Dance with your Son” and “Dance with your Daughter.” Any adult is welcome to accompany your child.

Due to capacity, we ask that only one adult chaperone accompany your child(ren).
