P.T.O. volunteers

The Hutchings P.T.O. needs parent volunteers for the Hutchings Hurricane Hustle on October 23rd from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. to help assist with counting envelopes, the walk, and the photography area. Even if you can’t work the entire 3 hours, any amount of time you could work we would truly appreciate.

If parents are available, please have them contact us by email at hutchingsptoinfo@sbcglobal.net or call Cathy Shields at 517-202-3765. Thanks!

Reminders

MEAP testing will begin on Tuesday, October 13. All 4th grade classes will be testing Oct. 13 (Tu), 15 (Th), 20 (Tu), and 22 (Th). Please refrain from making appointments or picking up students during the day on those days. Students will have to make up any missed portion during regular class time. PTO will provide a small snack on testing days, however we want to make sure all students are well rested and have a good breakfast!

Students are bringing home Original Works today. Orders are due no later than October 16. If you are ordering, you will need to return your child's artwork, with their order form. Make checks payable to Hutchings PTO.

Hurricane Hustle pledges are still being accepted! Please remember, this is our main fundraiser this year! Envelopes can be turned in each Friday for collection/prizes. The last collection day is the day of the Hustle...October 23!

Have a nice weekend! :)
