Football Parking
Football parking is the easiest and most successful Horn fundraiser.  Thank you to everyone who has already helped this fall.  We have already raised more than $5000.  Next Saturday, 10/1, we have three open volunteer slots from 9:00-11:00.  
Sign-up here for a 2 hour shift, meet the other Horn families, and collect parking money.  Bring your kids and they can play on the playground or set up a lemonade stand!

Each Saturday home game, cars park in the school parking lot and playground blacktop off Benton for $15.

2022-2023 PTO Volunteer Needs
The Parent Teacher Organization has a full calendar planned for this school year but needs a team to help.  After many months of no in-person events due to COVID, we need to identify new volunteers willing to help with PTO events.  There are lots of opportunities, big and small, and plenty of help for any newcomers.  No previous involvement is necessary.  Want more information before signing up?  Email the Horn PTO at hornpto.iowacity@gmail.com.


Our fundraisers allow us to support Horn school through free family events and academic enrichment opportunities during school.  Free school events make Horn a welcoming place and provide a place for families to connect.
