Volunteer Opportunities

Calling All Bakers
The PTO is always trying to build a bigger Hive to help improve our children's school experience. We are putting on a Bake Sale from 3:30-6:30 on November 6, which is also Election Day.  We need donations of homemade or store bought cookies, brownies, cakes, bread and any other sweets.  Plus we need volunteers to help sell the treats. So look for our flyers.  
 Sign up here to donate or volunteer.  We can't do this with out your support!  

Conference Meals for the teachers
We are looking for volunteers to help donate food and items for the Parent Teacher Conferences that are coming up November 7, 15 and 16.  Please take a look at the sign-up and see how you can contribute.

Horn Winter Clothing Drive
If your family has new or gently used winter items to donate to other families, please drop them off in the donation box in the Horn office. This can include winter coats, snow pants, snow boots, mittens/gloves, long sleeved shirts/sweaters, and pants. Donations will be accepted until 
November 2.

If your family needs assistance getting winter items for your Horn students and would like to see if we have winter items available in their size(s), please contact Megan Recker, the Student & Family Advocate. You can email her at recker.megan@iowacityschools.org or call her at (319) 688-1179. We will have a limited number of winter items available and cannot guarantee availability of all items in all sizes.
