Hunt Valley PTA

🥳THANK YOU Hunt Valley community for supporting our Spirit Night at the Springfield Chick-fil-A! We earned $246.80 for our PTA from this event! 🥳

📚 Book Fair Update! 📚

Hawks with Thursday or Friday buying days, please check your e-wallet to make sure the selected school is "Hunt Valley Elementary School (Fall)".

We had an issue this morning with many e-wallets being under another school's name, even if ours was originally selected. The glitch has been fixed with our vendor but a second check from our Hawk grown ups would be helpful to the Book Fair volunteers!

A printed copy of the e-wallet always works best, if you're able to print!

📚 Book Fair Volunteers Needed!

We’re still looking for volunteers for the time slots below! If you’re available, we’d love your help making the book fair a success.

- Thursday: 11am - 12:20pm

📚 Don’t forget to come shop with your family during Family Shopping Hour this Thursday, 4:30–6:00 PM!

📚 Teachers have filled out their classroom wish lists! Please consider gifting a teacher a book for their classroom. If you can't purchase your gift at the after school shopping hour on Thursday, email [email protected] and I'll help coordinate your transaction, of any size. (Please email before noon Friday)

Update: they are trying to fix the app problem. You can order in person with no issues. If you need to use the app, please ask them when you arrive to print your receipt and give it to the manager for our event. She is aware of the issue.

If you are trying to order from Chick-fil-A: we have heard that the community event toggle is not turned on in-app. I have sent an email and will go ask in person. Please ask when you are picking up your food so your receipt can be added to our event! Thank you!
