Hunter PTA's New 2010/2011 Board Members

Thank you all who came to the last PTA meeting of the year. What a great turn out we had. It is always so good to see so many faces at the meetings.

We accomplished quite a bit, we have a new board in place for next year, discussed the possibility of moving some of our big fundraising events around a little, we briefly discussed the budget and what will be carried over for next year, the teachers requested some new supplies that they would love to have before school starts next year (we are going to try our hardest to make that happen for them), and last but not least voted in our new board members, and here they are:

PTA President - Natalie Day
Vice President - Natalie Jardine
Secretary- Tiffany Newcomer
Treasurer - Liz Pratt

Thank you for stepping up and volunteering to take on these positions. We know you will do a wonderful job and we can't wait to work with you.

Keep your eyes on the blog, there will be more information to come with more announcements. As always, if you have any questions, thoughts, ideas, or concerns please feel free to contact any board member. Our contact info is listed at the top right hand corner of the blog.
