Welcome to the Hurley Elementary PTA website!
What is the PTA?
The PTA (Parents Teachers Association) is the largest volunteer association in the world devoted solely to the welfare of our children. The basic concern of the PTA has always been to create a better life for every child - whatever his/her race, religion or economic status. In the process the PTA has united parents, teachers, students and other citizens of the community in the effort to realize this goal. The benefits are many and include class trips, reading and art programs, playground equipment and fun events that take place all year long for the students of Hurley Elementary School.
Ways You Can Support the PTA!
1. Join the PTA! Your voice counts - but you have to be an active member to vote! Only $5 per FAMILY to join! You can pick up a membership envelope in the Hurley Office.
2. Come to the Meetings! PTA meetings are held monthly in the Hurley school library and last just one hour!! Come and just listen to what the PTA is working on or if you have something you’d like to discuss. We need volunteers, of course, but we are also in need of parent input when it comes to making decisions about fundraising and future projects, just to name a few. Everyone is welcome - spouses included! This website lists all of the meeting dates and the meeting minutes will be posted on-line afterwards.
3. Use a SaveMart Shares card! Simply ask the cashier at SaveMart to swipe your card before you pay and Hurley will receive up to 3% back! It’s an easy way to fundraise (and no cookie dough or wrapping paper to sell!). Cards are available in the Hurley office. If you already have a card, pass one on to a family member or friend!
4. Attend School Functions: Teachers and students work really hard in the planning and execution of class Carnival booths and Tricky Tray baskets, and the Hurley Walk-A-Thon is a fun event that gets everyone moving! The PTA volunteers work their tails off too - It takes a lot of work to put together events for over 500 kids and their families! Please show your school support by coming to these events ~ we look forward to seeing you!
5. Read the Hurley Newsletter and Check the Website! Yes, by reading these, you’re supporting the PTA! To be informed is to be involved- and there may be something that inspires you to participate!
6. Thank a PTA Volunteer: Those folks who are always at school looking incredibly busy and just a bit flustered - - chances are they’re PTA volunteers. When someone sells pizza at open house, fills your scrip order, types up the newsletter, unpacks boxes at the book fair, and turns a playground into a carnival — show them you appreciate their efforts to make this a better school for our kids! We couldn’t accomplish anything without our fabulous volunteers!
