**It is expected that your team present on the night designated.  However, a couple of you have talked to me about major conflicts.  Please let me know what your alternate plans are by Tuesday, Sept 20, and then it will be your responsibility to communicate that to your parents.**


PTA Membership & Events

• Membership Drive - last year 100% of our staff joined PTA.  Let's do it again!  Membership dues this year are $10 for staff.  Watch your box for a membership envelope.
• VIP Fundraiser Cards - more details to come on this Fall Fundraiser.  This card is similar to the Entertainment Books, however, the savings can be used over and over again throughout the country!  Cards are $20 and $10 of every card sold goes back to PTA to support students, teachers, and the community.  Check out this link for more information:  The VIP Card
• Picture Perfect Hair Cut - to prepare for Individual Picture Day, our PTA is sponsoring a hair cut event for families on Oct 12 from 4-7pm in the gym.  If you know a hair stylist who would be interested in donating their time, please email Rebecca or Mindy Gailey (PTA President).  Donations received from this event will go back to PTA to support kids and families at Hunt.

 Staffing Updates

• Para Overload Hours - temporary support is effective through Sept 23.  Semester 1 schedules are being developed and tweaked to meet classroom needs.

Every Monday Matters
We aren't getting the staffing I had hoped for - a good reason for a bad attitude, no doubt!  But, we simply cannot let that fact get us down.  Let's use this disappointment to be Possibilitarians - how can we support the kids we have within the resources allocated to us? Thank you, already, for beginning targeted whole group instruction.  We are on the road to success - and so are your kids!  Think of the possibilities...
