Sidekick Coffee & Books Fundraiser - 9/12 from 8:00-5:00

We are creating a Storybook Trail at Horn Elementary!  Once or twice a month, teachers will select a new storybook to feature, and the pages will be spread out along the fence line and campus of Horn School. This trail will encourage regular outdoor time, hiking, and interest in books all at once! Families are encouraged the visit the trail on their own. In person classes will also walk the trail and read the story when we return to the hybrid model. 

This fundraiser helps to cover the costs of the materials to make the trail possible. Purchasing coffee, ice cream, sweet treats, books, puzzles, and more from our partners at Sidekick will help fund this project.  Share the Facebook event with friends and family!

Order ahead, choose September 12th as the pick-up date, and the sale will count! Or order the day of the event! Shop here. 

PTO Meetings

Welcome to Horn Elementary School!  Whether you are new or have been here for years, we are glad to have you as part of our family.  The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is made up of ALL parents and guardians of students attending Horn School and school staff members.  We look forward to working alongside you during your child’s time as a Horn Hornet.  Just like everything else, PTO will look a little different this year, but still plan to support Horn Elementary School in many ways!  PTO is looking for more parents to get involved this year.  There are lots of opportunities, big and small, and plenty of help for any newcomers.
