Staff Appreciation
Did you know there are more than 80 staff members working with our students and supporting our school in online and in-person learning?  We love saying thank you and showing our school staff how much we appreciate them!  This year, for Staff Appreciation Week (May 3-7), we're sending notes of encouragement and giving each every one one of our staff a $20 gift card to a local business.  

If you would like to contribute to this gift, choose "Teacher Appreciation" on PayPal or drop off a cash or check gift in the school office (labeled appreciation.

Sign-up to write a note to one of the teachers who works with your child or another support staff in our building!  Send your note via email, drop it off in the office or put it in the mail and we'll get it delivered.

Donations Needed
The school is running low on disposable water bottles and youth sized disposable masks.  Drop donated items off at the school office.  You can also have masks shipped directly to school from Amazon (Horn Elementary - 600 Koser - Iowa City, IA - 52246)
