It's hard to believe, but winter is coming soon! Snow, ice, and temperatures that drop below freezing. To keep your child safe from cold-weather injuries, they should come to school every day during the winter months with a warm coat, hat, and gloves or mittens. Once the snow and ice arrives they should also have winter boots and snow pants.If your family needs assistance getting winter items for your Horn student and would like to see if we have items available in their size, please contact Megan Recker, the Student and Family Advocate. You can email her at recker.megan@iowacityschools.org or call her at 319-688-1179. Winter items are limited in number and we cannot guarantee availability of all items in all sizes.

Box Tops Challenge
We're proud of the many ways the Parent Teacher Organization supports Horn School. Without parent and staff support, we wouldn't be able to provide such great activities and successful fundraisers at Horn. There are lots of opportunities, big and small, to give back to Horn. Would you please consider how you can get involved this year? Contact Laura Broffitt at Lbroffitt@yahoo.com or 319-541-8862 with any questions or sign-up to volunteer!
