With the support of the Hurffville community, our PTO was able to purchase tone chimes, a welcome supplement for the general music program. The PTO also made generous donations to our Library and Drama Club. Our PTO provided the Money Tree banking program, a before school Spanish program, a school store, special assemblies for our students, field day tee shirts, the 5 th grade picnic, a book fair, the annual Halloween party and a skating party. The PTO purchased an assignment book for each student in 2nd through 5 th grade and a pencil box with supplies for all 1 st graders. Parent volunteers help in our classrooms and tutor individual students in need of additional assistance.
Volunteers also provide additional helping hands during special activities in the classrooms.
Guest readers are frequent visitors to our 1 st grade classes. A computer teacher offers weekly instruction in Computer Literacy to all pupils in 3 rd through 5 th grade in a well-furnished computer lab. The lab is a resource to classroom teachers, who elect to schedule their students for a writing or research assignment. Every classroom is equipped with a computer, a printer, a monitor and an aver-key that permits the teacher to display the computer screen onto the classroom monitor to enrich and supplement daily instruction. Each computer is connected to the Internet and our district's Intranet.
