Horn Buzz 12/4/2020

 







Conference time is always a special treat for teachers because they get to see all of their families and enjoy yummy meals provided by the PTO.

This year, we encourage parents and students to email their teachers or post on Seesaw! Tell them what you appreciate about them, have your student draw a picture or write an email, leave a video or voice message on Seesaw! Let's tell our Horn teachers and staff how much we appreciate their hard work this fall.

Scholastic Book Fair - Open until December 8
The annual book fair is open online! Books are always great gifts but there are also many other items available. Orders will be delivered directly to your home (free shipping on book-only purchases over $25)!  Share the link with family and friends! 25% of all purchases will directly benefit the Horn School. Each teacher also has a classroom e-wallet if you want to give them a classroom gift. Check your email or contact your child's teacher for the link. Contact Chris (stilwell.christine@iowacityschools.org) with any questions.
