October PTO - Wednesday, 10/21 from 6:30-7:30

Please joins us next Wednesday for our Parent Teacher Organization meeting.  The PTO is made up of ALL parents and guardians of students attending Horn School and school staff members.  Just like everything else, PTO will look a little different this year, but still plan to support Horn Elementary School in many ways!  Request the monthly meeting link by emailing hornpto.iowacity@gmail.com.  

We are looking for additional parents to be a part of the PTO Leadership Committee.  This is not an appointed position but you would be involved with more frequent communication.  Please let us know if you are interested or know someone who might be!  

Fall Fund Drive

It's not too late to donate to the Fall Fund Drive!  PTO purchased school supplies and other items needed for in person and online school.  We have also increased our teacher reimbursement amount to allow all of our teachers to purchase necessary items.

Hudson's Dine-Out - Wednesday, 11/11 

Save the date!  Hudson's Restaurant is hosting a fundraiser for us in November.  Horn will receive 15% of all sales.

Storybook Walk

We are so excited to announce the start of our storybook walk at Horn Elementary!!  Around the perimeter of the Horn campus are the pages of a children’s picture book.  Storybook walks are a great way for students to engage with children’s literature while getting exercise in a safe, outdoor setting.  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.  It follows the entire inside of the fence and ends by the temporaries on the south side of the school.

Our rules include:

• 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)

Our first book is All are Welcome by Alexandra Penfold. The story should change every few weeks or so!  In order to fund the storybook walk, PTO organized a fundraiser at Sidekick Coffee & Books.
