SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
After School Chinese Language Program
Thanks very much to all of you who responded to the survey last week. You have helped us in developing a program that would best suit your needs. The information about class schedule, textbook, fee, etc. will soon be posted on the PTA website www.hunterpta.org. Please check the PTA website this week for updated information. Thank you.
The After School Chinese Language Program is a partnership between the PTA and Hunter College. The teachers will be sent by Dr. Der-lin Chao, director of Chinese Division of the Department of Classical and Oriental Studies. This program is “extracurricular” and is from October to May. Students of all levels are welcome.
FROM THE PTA
Order Magazines and Books Through QSP and Earn Cash for Hunter
By now you should have received the Annual Magazine Drive catalog and order forms. All orders and renewals made through our school program return 40% of the purchase price directly to the Hunter PTA in support of school programs.
Participation is easy: just show the catalogs to your friends and family members. Paid orders can be returned to the school office in any sealed envelope at any time through October. If you prefer to order online, you can do so 24/7 throughout the year. If you haven’t already registered, visit http://www.qsp.com and click “Register Now.” In the space for “School/Organization #”, enter Hunter PTA’s number: 425009256.
Our goal is for every Hunter family to use the QSP program to order and renew their family’s subscriptions for the years they are at Hunter. Why give the publisher all that money if it’s just as easy to give Hunter almost half of it? You might be surprised at the number of titles available: The Wall Street Journal, O, Time, New York, Newsweek, Gourmet, Forbes—they’re all there. And there are great combo deals as well as books and CDs. If you have questions, or if there is a magazine title you don’t see in the catalog or online, please contact Wendy Dubin at blueplate12@gmail.com
**The PTA Volunteer Party Scheduled for September 30th has been canceled**
LOOKING AHEAD

Welcome back from Hunter Online Weekly
We’d like to take a moment to reintroduce Hunter Online Weekly (HOW), the email newsletter brought to you by members of the Hunter Life Committee. HOW delivers news about the community to the community: students, faculty, and parents.
HOW is a weekly email containing the upcoming week's activities, events, and other important information. The Hunter Online Weekly delivers information about events such as:
- Club activities and fundraisers
- Events, performances, games, sign-ups, etc.
- Term announcements
- Announcements from faculty
- Other opportunities for Hunter students
The best part about the Hunter Online Weekly is that you are welcome to contribute! If you have an announcement you’d like to see included in HOW simply send an email to HunterOnlineWeekly@gmail.com (instructions below). Here are some examples of who should contribute:
- Club leaders
- Term council members
- Publication editors
- G.O. officers
- Club advisors, faculty members, department chairs, administration, etc.
If you were planning on putting a sign up in the hallway, remember to send an email to HOW so that your information can be delivered directly to community members and posted online each week. By including an announcement in HOW you reach a large audience, save paper, and have your information be easily accessible at a later date.
Including your announcement in HOW is optional, but we hope for your participation so that it presents a full picture of the many activities and opportunities that exist at Hunter. HOW does not endeavor to replace any pre-existing method of communication such as the HCHS website, calendar, or Hilites newsletter, but instead aims to deliver new and time-sensitive information directly to community members. If you miss a poster or sign in the hallway, forget to check the website, or if there is simply a change or an announcement to be made, HOW might be able to fill in the gaps.
HOW it works:
- Announcements for the following week must be received by 3pm each Friday, no exceptions (announcements for September 21st – 25th need to be submitted by 3pm on September 18th).
- The HOW email will be sent out over the weekend.
- Hunter Online Weekly will be sent to all students, parents, and faculty
Include the following information in your submission to HunterOnlineWeekly@gmail.com:
name of club or organization:
what the event or announcement is:
date and time of event:
location:
brief description and any additional information or website links you would like to include:
email contact for questions:
Submissions are due by each Friday at 3pm.
Hunter Online Weekly won’t be an effective communication tool without your submissions! Send your announcements about next week’s activities to HunterOnlineWeekly@gmail.com.
A few of the students working on HOW may be doing outreach at school for the next couple of days. Look for them and the HOW signs! We hope to publicize your event or activity soon!
- The Hunter Online Weekly Team
