A Message From Your PTA President… Dear Hunter’s Green Families, I am so excited that our PTA is gearing up for a great second half of the school year. We love to have fun, free events for our families to attend. It is your support at restaurant nights or donations back from business partners that help us provide these to everyone. One of the most fun nights in the spring is PANTHER JAMZ. Our teachers are amazing rock stars and they can not wait to show their stuff in the teacher show this year. Please save the date of Friday, April 10th for a night of dancing, DJs, singing, prizes and awesome food trucks: Big Bang BBQ, FishinChicken and KONA Ice trucks are planned. Best of all we have our “Kids Rule the School Raffle.” Students can buy a raffle ticket to possibly win being teacher or administrator for the day. They may win their own class or try to win a past favorite teacher’s class. In addition, we will be raffling and auctioning off exciting prizes. Please consider making a donation to the Panther Pat’s Prize Packs. Your business could be represented as part of a donation for our prize give-away or as an independent auction item. If you can support the school in this way, please contact Yasmeen Neuman at [email protected] or drop off your donation in the front office. PTA is working on some really great prizes this year so you are going to want to be there to win! Don’t be left out. Worker bees are needed to help with the event. If you are interested in helping in any way please contact Bekki at [email protected] and she will be in touch about the tasks at hand. A second free fun family night in April is MOSI Science Night on April 22. The PTA reserves the Kids in Charge area of MOSI for our students to visit and explore. Please mark your calendar to come out and enjoy the night with your family. PTA is in the process of collecting and reviewing Mini Teacher Grants. The teachers submit grants for things they feel could benefit their classroom or grade level. We budget $2,000 for the grants and will award the grants as the month of March closes. We love meeting the needs of our teachers. I am on our campus all day-every day and I am always at a loss for words for how many helping hands touch the lives of the children that go to our special school; teachers, administrators, parents, volunteers. If you don’t know yet, I want to share, we have a really good thing here at HGE and we are so lucky to share these years together. Thank you TEAM at HGE!
