Conference Meals for Horn Staff

Conference meals are just around the corner!

For those of you who have signed up to bring food for our teachers on February 28, we will now need the food on Monday, March 4 because of the changes the district made to accommodate all the snow days.

We hope that if you haven't signed up to contribute to the meals for the teachers during conferences, you will consider doing so. There are 3 meals planned: Thursday, February 21 (dinner), and Monday, March 4 (lunch and Dinner).

If you would be interested in donating or helping, please sign up at the following link: CONFERENCE MEAL SIGN UP




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?

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 Thursday, February 28. Please send your Box Tops for your child to turn in to either their teacher or to the staff in the office. If you have any questions, please contact Merrie-Anne Casko at merrieannecasko@gmail.com.




More information will be sent home by the 6th grade teachers, please look for this in early April to provide t-shirt sizes!


Interested in participating as a chaperone? Own a business or know someone that may wish to donate? We need your help to make this the BEST experience for our children!! Questions? Please contact Amanda Jensen at amandajensen375@gmail.com or call/text 319-383-9412.





The Horn Carnival is quickly approaching on Saturday, March 2 from 2 - 5:30.  

Each student will be given 10 free tickets which can be used to play games, buy a cookie at the Hornet Cafe, and enter a raffle. Carnival tickets may also be purchased ahead of time or the day of the event. Your child will bring home a Carnival Packet next week with more information! The Carnival is one of our biggest school events and the money raised at the carnival supports the free community building events we're able to do at school.


Carnival Prize Room Donations
We are collecting trinkets, stickers, small toys, etc. for the upcoming carnival. Please check your junk drawers and toy boxes for small treasures to contribute to the carnival. A collection box is located in the school office. You can also contact Betty Tannous (beatannous@gmail.com) and drop items off directly to her. Thanks!


Cake Donations and Decorating Contest

We're trying something new at the Carnival! This year, we will have a cake decorating contest and donated cakes will be auctioned and raffled off in the lunch room. Staff, parents, and students are encouraged to participate. This year's cake contest theme is "CARNIVAL!" Those who do not wish to participate in the theme contest may still donate a cake. Along with cake donations we will be collecting King Size Candy Bars for a Candy Bar Walk (in lieu of the Cake Walk). Please consider signing-up to donate a cake or some King Size candy bars:
