Science Fair

We are really excited to have our annual Horn Science Fair.  Thank you to all the families and kids who have registered.  If you signed up to pick up a tri-fold poster from school for your child’s project, they will be available in the Horn office starting Monday, February 4

The Science Fair will take place on Saturday, February 16 from 10 am to 12pm.  From 10-11 am the kids will present their projects in the gym. Then from 11-12 pm, kids and families will come to the MPR to see demonstrations that will be put on by the National Driving Simulator.   

If your child did not get a chance to register and would like to participate, please contact Heena Olalde at heena-olalde@uiowa.edu.

Box Top Collection Returns!

We are bringing back Box Top collection!  Thank you to everyone who helped to collect Box Tops this fall.  We earned over $290!  Can we beat our total from this fall? Which class will be the big winner this semester? Mr. Proctor’s class was the top collecting class in the fall. Will it be your child’s class this semester?

Look for Box Tops on specially marked products such as cereal boxes, Zip Lock bags, Kleenex, etc., and clip them out.  If you have the Box Top app on your phone, you can also upload your receipts to help earn Box top points for Horn.

We will be collecting Box Tops through Wednesday, February 27.  If you have any questions, please contact Merrie-Anne Casko at merrieannecasko@gmail.com.

Spring Volunteer Needs

We had a wonderful start to the school year and have enjoyed all the fall events.  We could not have done it without your help!  As we look ahead, we need to fill a few more volunteer spots to help make things run smoothly in the spring.  Would you consider helping out with the February Movie Night, our School Carnival on March 2nd, Staff Appreciation Week in May or School-Wide Garage Sale?  Check out the other opportunities and sign up by visiting our Spring Volunteer Sign-Up.  Contact Laura Broffitt at Lbroffitt@yahoo.comor 319-541-8862 with any questions.
