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

Student Email Distribution

As a way of sharing the HOW newsletter with students, we will be using student email addresses in the online Parent Directory as another method of distribution. PARENTS - please log in (www.hunterpta.org, click on Parent Directory)and update your child's email ID. You may "hide" it from public view if you wish. In the near future, we will send a welcome message to students with login details so they, too, can use the online Parent Directory to search for fellow schoolmates. Students will have search capabilities only, not editing functions.
