Hunter Elementary PTA Newsletter
Box Tops
Don't forget to collect and send in your boxtops with your students! These little pieces of cardboard are worth 10 cents each, and can really add up if everyone participates!
Spirit Wear
Spirit wear is available for purchase online at SpiritGearDirect.com/shop!
Crayola Marker Recycle Program
Be sure to drop off any old markers in the bucket at the front of the school. We will be sending these into crayola for their marker recycling program.
Jog-A-Thon
The Jog-A-Thon is coming up on September 29th. This is our biggest fundraiser, and if we meet our goal we hope to have a shade canopy installed on the playground. You can register online at https://pledgestar.com/hunter/. An envelope also went home with students to collect pledges. There are some really great prizes for the top runners for the school, as well as each grade. Each grade will run at different times, so be sure to come and cheer on your student!
Book Fair
The book fair will be September 27 - October 4. Come on down to the school and pick out some new books to read with your student, or get started on your Christmas shopping!
National Walk to School Day
National walk to school day is on October 3rd. If your child would like to participate, please meet at 3289 Towerbridge way, in the parking lot, no later than 8:10. Staff will walk with kids the 3/4 mile to school. Dr. Whitt and Dr. Payne will be providing all Hunter kids participating with a nutritious snack. Please email your students teacher beforehand, so there is an accurate count for snack purchases. You can also contact Mr. McGinnis or Mr. Hawkins at 855-4285 ex. 1600 with any questions. Let's see how many kids we can get to participate this year!
Family Food Night
Family food night at Sonic on Linder is on October 17th. They will donate a portion of proceeds back to the PTA. Look for a flier to go home with your student, then bring the family for a quick and easy dinner.
Trunk-or-Treat
Our Trunk-or-Treat will be held on October 30th this year, in the school parking lot. Last year was a lot of fun, with many teachers, families and local businesses decorating their vehicles and passing out goodies. Pizzas will be available for pre-sale through the PTA. Coffee and donuts will also be on site for purchase. We are still looking for candy and non-candy giveaway donations too! If you'd like to help out or decorate a vehicle please contact us at HunterHawksPTA@gmail.com. We hope to see you all there!
Opportunities to Help
The PTA could always use your help. Volunteer to chair an event, help at an event, donate supplies or just join the PTA. Every little bit helps, we can't do it without you! You can look us up on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/HunterHawksCommunity/ or contact us at hunterhawkspta@gmail.com
