A Message from the PTA President

Teacher/Staff Appreciation week is fast approaching, from May 4-8.  PTA will be takin’ it back old school style with a 90’s themed week of fun for the staff.  Although our events have team leaders, we would love some extra help during that week with set up/break down and execution of some of the events.  If you’re able to help, please email me.  For those of you who also like to get a little something for your favorite teachers/staff, please check out the PTA website’s “Teachers and Staff Favorites List” for some inspiration.  https://hvpta.ptboard.com/home (The school code is: KB63B8.)

Friendly reminder, tomorrow is the last day of the Purple Up Spirit Week.  Tomorrow, wear red to remember everyone deployed!

As always, if you need anything, please reach out to President@huntvalleypta.org or info@huntvalleypta.org.

Sincerely,

Kacie Jones
Hunt Valley PTA President

We are also seeking donations of paper yard waste bags.  Bags can be dropped off at the school for Ms. James or the PTA.

Spring Festival

*This is not a drop off event.  All children must be accompanied by an adult.

*Adults and children under the age of 3 do not need to purchase a wristband unless they plan to participate.

*Funds from this event will go back to the PTA and help support educational enrichment opportunities for our students and offer important and valued experiences like field trips and more.

*The PTA cannot function without the help of parents and we can’t wait to see you there!
