PTO HundredX Fundraiser
Hello Hoover Elementary families and friends,
We have an exciting announcement! We're running a 30-day campaign with HundredX Causes to bring you a way to create funding for Hoover Elementary without spending a cent.
This month, each time you share a quality brand opinion with HundredX, up to $1.60 goes towards providing resources to support learning opportunities, school improvements, and family-friendly events at the school throughout the year! You can personally create $100+ of value (by giving 75 pieces of feedback). Learn more about how you use your opinions to give without spending by clicking this link: https://hundredx.com/learn
Any adult 18+ may sign up. This is not limited to Hoover parents and families, so please spread the word to family and friends! When you sign up, you will be asked to join a grade level team. This is to promote friendly competition between grade levels! All funds raised are for the entire school.
Thank you for your support!
Hoover Elementary PTO, HooverPTO@ahschools.us
P.S. When you join the campaign, your personal information is not sold or shared to any third parties. During the campaign, you will receive reminders from HundredX to submit feedback for our organization. You may opt out at any time.

Parent Educator, VSC, and PTO Updates
Parent Educator, Nichol Michaels - January Parent Press - Physical Fitness in a Digital World
Volunteer Service Coordinator, Tina Fletcher - January VSC Newsletter
- A message from our Volunteer Service Coordinator, Tina Fletcher:
- Are you hoping to chaperone a field trip for your child's class? Come in and help out in your child's classroom? Volunteer at fun events like dances, carnivals etc? All of these events are super fun to be a part of and volunteer at, but you need to have a Volunteer Application and CRHR completed in order to volunteer. Having these forms filled out right away at the beginning of the year makes you more likely to be selected for volunteer opportunities you are interested in such as field trips because you will get emails about these opportunities right away and your paperwork being processed won't delay you being selected.
- If you have any questions, please email Tina Fletcher at tina.fletcher@ahschools.us. To see current opportunities, click this link.
PTO - Hoover PTO would love to increase participation! ALL parents/guardians are welcome to join our PTO. Please check them out on the Hoover PTO Facebook page and like/follow them to learn more about what's going on! PTO also has a website with additional information. Please bookmark this site and check-in for updates.
Also, please like/follow our Hoover Elementary Facebook page too!
