Winter Clothing Collection - October 26 - December 4
If your family has new or gently used winter items that you've outgrown or don't need, please consider dropping them off in the donation box located inside the main entrance at Horn.  Items needed include winter coats, snow pants, boots, mittens, gloves, long sleeved shirts, sweatshirts, and pants.  


Winter in Iowa
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 winter boots and snow pants are also helpful to keep  you warm.  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.

Storybook Walk

There's a new story up at Horn - Hair Love by ! Around the perimeter of the Horn campus are the pages of a children’s picture book.  Families are welcome to use the storybook walk after school hours or on weekends.  The story begins at the bike rack on the north side of the school.

  • Do not touch the pages.

  • Keep your distance from others while reading the story.

  • Students should only read it with a teacher present during school hours (they cannot read it at recess time)
