A Message from the PTA President
Dear Hunt Valley Families,
The end of the school year is fast approaching! We’re already in the 4th Quarter. Thank you all for being supportive of the PTA, the school, your students, and the community thus far. We are winding down to have our final events of the year and May elections are coming up.
Friendly reminder that tonight is the Fairfax County Budget Meeting at West Springfield High School at 7PM. All are welcomed to attend to listen or voice your concerns about the proposed budget and budget cuts. More information is in the flyer below. Here is the full list of proposed agency reductions. The FY26 Budget adoption is scheduled for Tuesday, May 13, 2025.
Tomorrow is the first annual STEAM Fair night at Hunt Valley 6PM. Check out the various vendors and hang out with friends while learning something cool.
Save the date for the Spring Festival on May 9, 2025! More details to come soon.
Please review the open positions for our Board and Committees for next school year! We're still looking to fill some critical roles in order to have a PTA next school year. If you are interested, please email info@huntvalleypta.org.
If you need anything, please reach out to President@huntvalleypta.org or info@huntvalleypta.org.
Sincerely,
Iris Stoyanov
