PTA Membership and Greenback Donations
Thank you to all the Hardy Oak families who have joined the PTA and given their Greenback donation. The funds from the Greenback fundraiser are used on the year-long PTA enrichment programs like Grandparents Day, Bike Rodeo, Field Day, Staff Appreciation, Arts programs, Outdoor Classroom, etc. We truly appreciate your support.We are striving to have each student represented by a PTA member, so if you haven’t joined you can do so at www.join.pta.org or send in your membership form and $8 per member to the school Attn: Hardy Oak PTA. If you choose, both parents may be members plus grandparents, other relatives and even students can be PTA members. If you have any questions about membership, please contact Marni Skok at [email protected].
