Hunt PTO update 2/14/12

Hey There Hunt Families - Thanks to all that attended a very productive PTO meeting last week - your time and contributions are very valuable to us.  For those of you unable to come, minutes and a link to the Treasurer's report will be out next week - stay tuned...  Have a great week.  Kate B.

Box Tops!! Cut them out, bag them up, and send them in!!!
Our Box Tops for Education Coordinator, Susan Rutherford, says our school community is doing a great job saving and sending in box tops, and to keep up the good work. Susan plans to send in the box tops we have collected so far at the end of February, since that is one of two submission deadlines for the school year. Of course we can continue to collect box tops all year long but the deadline for the first submission date is now. Our PTO can do great things with the money we will receive from Box Tops for Education and can earn up to $20,000 per school year, so cut them out, bag them up, and send them in! A collection container is in the main office. Any questions, contact Box Tops Coordinator Susan Rutherford at susanrutherford@hotmail.com or 951-2571 and thanks!


Grease Update Parts have been cast and we hear lots of fun singing and acting in the halls of Hunt Middle School! Practices have been posted through February break.  Let us know at huntmiddleschool@gmail.com if you need us to resend any information. 
We have double the fundraising team we did last year and this gives up hope, but we need more help. Putting on a production takes both time and money -  Would you like to see Very Merry Theatre continue at Hunt Middle School? Please consider joining the fundraising committee. There are several dedicated people organizing bake sales and a dinner or two, but we need one person to head things up, coordinate with the PTO and our production managers.  If this is you, let us know.  Contact  Kim Hunt at khunt@bsdvt.org or Sarah Smith at sarah@esptrans.com .

HELP!!!!  Do you have a truck and interested in helping our production? We need someone to pick up half a car in Winooski. (Yes, you’d be the first to see Greased Lightning!) Let Sarah know at sarah@esptrans.com.
If you have a child in the production their permission slips and behavior contracts were due yesterday - please don't wait for us to track you down! Thanks!

The First Grease Stage Crew meeting is this Thursday (Feb 16) at 3:00pm in the auditorium.  Questions?  Contact Jane at earleygirls@gmail.com
