It has been so lovely seeing all the familiar and NEW faces during these first few weeks of school 💙💛 Meet the Teacher was such a special way to kick off the new school year, and my heart was so full seeing so many families stop by the PTA table to say hi and learn about getting involved. We had a fantastic turnout of parents ready to get involved, volunteer, and show their Hexter spirit!
Being involved with the PTA and our school can look different for every family. If you’re not sure where to begin, the first step is simply to join the PTA. It’s an easy way to show your support and be part of our Hexter community.
Our first meeting is Thursday 9-17 - trust me when I say, you won’t want to miss it! Hawk Hour starts @ 5:30 - a chance to grab a bite to eat and/or socialize with your fellow Hawk families.. then our PTA General Meeting kicks off @ 6:30pm in the Cafetorium - this is your chance to participate in PTA business, learn about all the magic we are planning for this year, and so much more!
If you want to volunteer but don’t know where to begin—or if you just want to talk to someone who has already been down the slide of being a new parent at the school—please reach out to me! I’m always happy to help you find your way. And if I don’t have the answer, I’ll connect you with someone who does!

👕 Uniform Swap Success!
Our Uniform Swap was a HUGE success! A big thank you to everyone who donated uniforms to help stock the swap. With our fast-growing Hawks, it’s always wonderful to have the opportunity to pick up a gently loved uniform—or two, or three!—and give it another life.
A very special THANK YOU to our Outreach Chair, Stacy Potts, for organizing and helping make the Uniform Swap such a success! We love seeing our Hexter families help one another out, and this is such a great example of our community coming together.
🦅 Show Your Hexter Spirit!
A HUGE thank you to Valerie Moreno for running our Spirit Shop and keeping everyone looking HAWK-tastic! And a special shout-out to Lauren Smith, a brand-new Hexter parent, for lending her creative talents and helping design some of our fabulous new shirts. We are so excited to see them around campus!
We also want to give a big THANK YOU to our Hospitality Chair, Kelsey Vigilante, for treating our amazing Hexter staff to some yummy snacks and goodies to help fuel them through the back-to-school hustle. Our teachers and staff work so hard, and we love finding little ways to show them how much we appreciate them! ❤️
💙💛 My Door Is Always Open!
Questions? Comments? Concerns? Ideas? Random PTA thoughts that pop into your head while standing in the carpool line?
My door is always open! Come find me at drop-off or pick-up. Just a little tip: I’m usually a saved-by-the-bell kind of parent in the morning, so I’m typically on the back end of drop-off. 😂
And if you have a unique skill, talent, hobby, connection, or idea that you’d like to bring to our school—or you simply want to be involved—WE WANT YOU!
Thank you to everyone who has already volunteered, donated, joined the PTA, helped at an event, shared an idea, or simply lent a hand. You are what makes our Hexter community so special.
Every person plays a part. Whether your involvement is small, occasional, behind the scenes, or deeply rooted in the day-to-day work of our school, it all matters.
We are successful because we work together. It takes all kinds of involvement, talents, ideas, and helping hands to make our school soar.
So here’s to a wonderful new school year, a community that shows up for one another, and a whole lot of Hawk pride! 🦅💙💛
Let’s make this our best year yet!
With gratitude,
Susie Hughes
President, Hexter PTA
