Football Parking
We need volunteers this Saturday (11/20) to finish off our easiest and most successful Horn fundraiser!  During home football games, cars park in the school parking lot and playground blacktop off Benton for $10.  

Please take a look at the volunteer schedule and sign up for a shift if you're available.  We'll continue to add shifts as game times get set.  Want to know more before you sign up?  Click Here


Want to get involved?
The Parent Teacher Organization is looking for help with the following:

Playground Enhancements
 - We're looking to add some play options to both of our playgrounds and could use a parent or two to help organize and plan ideas and to communicate with the teacher collecting ideas from Horn staff.

Building Artwork - Do you have an eye for design, a heart for showcasing student artwork, or ideas to increase Horn school's warm and welcoming environment?  Horn has money already set aside to help decorate the walls inside the school and add ways to display student artwork.  A small group of parents and teachers are needed to begin making plans.

Staff Appreciation - In the past, we've done meals around conference time and provided snacks on occasion in the teacher's lounge.  A coordinator or two are needed to organize a date and some treats.

Kids Kreations Artwork Fundraiser - Each year, the Horn art teacher helps the students produce a piece of artwork that is used for this fundraiser.  Families can order a variety of items with their student's artwork on it.  A coordinator is needed to contact Kids Kreations to schedule the fundraiser and work with the art teacher to get artwork collected.

Spring All-School Celebration - New this year, we want to hold a spring or end of year all-school celebration.  We've been unable to hold so many of our regular events and want to bring everyone together.  We're looking for a group of people who would like to begin making plans for this new event.
