Questions about PTA

It has come to our attention that some parents have a question about joining the PTA.


Question: "I want to join PTA and contribute $10 for my family, but I am way too busy to go to meetings. Can I just contribute $10 and NOT join?"

Answer: "Great Question! Being a member of PTA is vital to the growth of Hunter Elementary. And, your membership cards enable you to get automatic discounts at many local vendors in the Treasure Valley. However, while the PTA advertises meetings and events, it is not mandatory that you attend meetings." (Although PTA encourages it) So come when you can, we would love to see you there.

If you have any other questions please feel free to email us or call us. Our contact info is always posted in the top right had corner of the blog.

Get Ready for Back to School Night

Hunter Elementary is having Back to School Night Thursday, September 24th from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. This is a night that the teachers ask for the children to stay home if possible. This allows parents to really focus on what our children are learning and what the coming year will bring.

The teachers are working really hard to prepare for this night and I am sure are eager to share this year's curriculum with us.

Also don't forget to stop by the PTA table to purchase your PTA membership and buy your 2009/2010 Spirit Wear. For your convenience we take cash, check, Visa & Master Card We will have samples available. There will be hooded sweatshirts and two toned raglan jerseys and available on line are crew neck sweatshirts, short sleeve t-shirts, and long sleeve shirts. You are going to LOVE our NEW logo!!!

Hope to see all the parents there!

Results of the Red Robin Family Food Night

Thank you to all who were able to participate at our first family food night at Red Robin. It was so much fun and we saw a lot of families there. The energy was buzzing with a very fun kid friendly atmosphere. The staff was wonderful and did a great job.

They earned $1250 from Hunter families, which means the school was given (10%) $125. We are hoping to have more successful family food nights at different restaurants around town. We want to make sure that we give you all as much notice as possible so we can all plan for them in our budgets. We are all being effected my these hard economic times, so we are hoping that advance notice for planning helps out all of us.

Keep checking out our blog for more upcoming events at Hunter, and as always if you have any questions or concerns please contact us by email or phone. Our contact info will always be posted in the top right hand corner of the blog.

Thanks again Hunter Families!!!!!
