Staff Conference Meals - November 9th, 17th, & 18th
School conferences are just around the corner! Traditionally, the PTO has provided meals for teachers and staff on school conference days and we're excited to be doing that again this fall.
Food and monetary donations are needed to show our hard working teachers and staff how much they are appreciated. Please take a look at the sign-up and see if you're able to help.
Monetary donations can be made using this link for PayPal or drop of a check (made out to Horn PTO) or cash in the office labeled conference meals. If there are donations in excess to what is needed for conference meals will be used for future staff appreciation and PTO expenses.
NEW HyVee Cash 4 Students Fundraiser
HyVee has started a new school fundraiser and we're excited to partner with them!
Families and individuals can submit their receipts of any amount to Horn school. For every $200 purchased at the grocery, wine/spirits, catering, deli, gas, postage, etc., HyVee will donate $1 to Horn.
Start saving your in-person and online receipts and we'll communicate soon how you can turn them in.
Football Parking
Each Saturday home game, cars park in the school parking lot and playground blacktop off Benton for $15. Bring your kids and they can play on the playground or set up a lemonade stand!
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 $6000. Sign-up here for one of the upcoming games. We'll be in touch once kickoff time is set for each game.
