Dear Hunt Valley Families,
Thank you to all who attended our first PTA meeting of the year this past Tuesday evening! We covered a wide range of topics and passed this year’s budget.

Spirit Wear is available for sale in our online store https://huntvalleypta.givebacks.com/shop.
The PTA will be distributing purchases very soon to the classrooms. Don’t forget to order these shirts with our new Hawk logo!
We have many exciting activities starting very soon! After school activities and Book Fair both begin next week. Check out our flyers below for more information, to register before the window closes, to sign up to volunteer, and much more. October brings the start of the Reflections art competition, our annual Fun Run & Wellness Fair and Trunk or Treat!
There are many ways to get involved through the PTA and the school so please consider volunteering a little or a lot as we move into these wonderful fall events!
As always, if you have questions, please reach out to President@huntvalleypta.org or info@huntvalleypta.org.
Sincerely,
Kacie Jones
