ESSENTIAL Campaign | Hamilton Elementary

ESSENTIAL

[ES·SEN·TIAL] Adjective

So important as to be indispensable

ESSENTIAL, The Campaign for the Future of The Arts and Athletics at Hamilton, is a vital endeavor to fund the infrastructure improvements to our Gymnatorium space which will serve as the foundation for enriching the education of current and future students.

Why This Matters

This campaign sets the stage for the future potential of Hamilton Elementary and the students and families we serve. Yes, Air Conditioning will make the Gymnatorium more comfortable on a day-to-day basis, but this will also allow us to invest in climate controlled storage for musical instruments, tech-crew equipment, and consumable visual art supplies.
