Hello Hunters Woods Mustangs!

I hope everyone had a great summer! We're having a great start to the school year! Things are off to a quick start, and we want to make sure everyone is prepared to have an amazing school year. 

The Hunters Woods PTA is run by parent volunteers. Our mission is to enhance the educational experience for all Mustangs.

Thank you to those that have already joined the PTA—we greatly appreciate your support. If you haven’t yet, there's still time to join the PTA today! Your membership donation helps the PTA fund programs including afterschool enrichment, teacher appreciation, teacher mini-grants, field trips, STEM activities, and more. There is no requirement to volunteer though volunteers are greatly appreciated.

We have some amazing events planned for this school year and are looking for volunteers to help make them happen. Please take a minute to fill out our volunteer opportunity survey.

Be sure to mark your calendars for Back to School Night on August 28th and our first movie night on September 6 (free to all).

For after school enrichment, we've got an exciting new offering this year—Spanish classes. See below for more details. Also, stay tuned for additional after school enrichment offerings in the coming weeks.

And, finally, if you ordered a car magnet, we'll be sending those home with your child in the next week.

Thank you for your support!

Sharlyne Tsai, PTA President
