On Friday, our PTA sponsored a back to school luncheon!. It was a huge event, with lots of food. Thanks to Ms. LaDonna Carter, the chairperson for this event, our volunteers and the many parents who sent in food. The food was delicious and we truly appreciated the support provided by our community.
During our luncheon, our PTA President, Tracy Edick, awarded 10 grants to those staff that applied for them. The grants totaled over $3500.00 to support special efforts by our staff to provide opportunities for academic support for all students. We are so fortunate to have a community that provide funds to support the many programs and activities that we sponsor at our school.
Happenings next week at HGES: Open House for tracks 3 and 4 will be held on Thursday from 6-8PM. We will have two classroom sessions (in the event that you have more than one child) and an opportunity for you to attend a session on the new Common Core curriculum. We will begin in our multipurpose room with a general PTA meeting. The Common Core sessions will be held in the Media Center.
Our PTA Board meeting will be held on Tuesday at 6:30PM in the Media Center. Join us to find out how you can support the PTA and our school.
