Horn Spirit Wear - October 15-24


The Spirit Wear store is open for orders until October 24. Items will be sent home with your child on 11/8.  Contact Sarah Alward (sarah.alward@gmail.comwith any questions and let us know if something you purchase is a gift and you'd like to stop by the school and pick it up.   Check out the gear and shop here!

Winter Clothing Collection
If your family has new or gently used winter items that you've outgrown, please consider dropping them off in the donation box located in the front entrance at Horn.  Items most needed include winter coats, snow pants, snow boots, mittens, gloves, and long pants for ages 4-12.

Football Parking
This Saturday, 10/16, we still need 1 more volunteer from 11:00-12:45.  Sign-up here.

Game time isn't set for the last two games on November 13th and 20th.  If you're available either day, please email j.lilyfrench@gmail.com.

We've raised more than $4000 on football parking this fall and want to finish out the season strong.  An easy and successful fundraising opportunity like this supports Horn in many ways and means we won't need to do as many fundraisers throughout the year.  Want to know more before you sign up?  Click Here
