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.

The Horn Carnival is quickly approaching on Saturday, March 2 from 2:00-5:30. SAVE THE DATE! 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:  CAKE DONATION SIGN UP
