50th Anniversary Family Picnic
 - Friday, September 6th from 5:30-7:30
We hope you'll join us as we celebrate 50 years of Horn Elementary School! We'll gather on the back playground so bring a blanket and pack a dinner for your family. Whether you come for an hour or stay the entire time, it's a fun way to catch up with friends and meet new Horn families. The kids will have a great time playing on the playground and can also enjoy a bouncy house and bouncy obstacle course.

Please consider bringing a dessert to share.

The Horn Spirit Wear store is open for orders until September 9th. Check out this year's designs, including something new for Horn's 50th Celebration!!  Items will be sent home in your child's backpacks on 9/26 and 9/27.  Contact Anu Subramanian (subramanian.anu@gmail.com) with any questions and let us know if something you purchase is a gift and you'd like to stop by the school and pick it up.   Check out the gear and shop here!

Box Tops Challenge - September 2- 27
Support Horn School while you shop!  During the month of September, we'll be holding a box top challenge.  Classrooms will compete for who can bring in the most box tops.  Clip them and send them in a baggie or envelope with your child to give to their teacher.  We'll announce the winner on September 30th.

Football Parking Volunteers Needed
The Horn parking lots are opened on University of Iowa Football game days as a fundraiser for school field trips.  Football parking is one of PTO's most successful and EASIEST fundraisers every year!  Volunteers are needed to collect money and help guide cars into the parking spot.  Last year, a total of 50 hours were volunteered and raised $5405.  That's an average of $108/hour!

Questions, contact Adela Mansilla at gonzalezandmansilla@gmail.com.
