Horn Family STEM Night - Thursday, 2/16
Horn is hosting our first every STEM Night! Families are invited to attend with their students. A few volunteers are needed to help with set-up, clean-up, and greeting families.
Spring Conference Meals - 2/22 & 3/2
With the first spring conference date less than two weeks away, the Horn PTO is working hard to plan two dinners, one lunch, and several snacks to support the teachers and staff during the three days of conferences. 

Please take a look at the SignUp Genius to see how you can help. (And thank you to those who have already signed up!)  Whether you sign up to bring something prepackaged, homemade, make a monetary donation, or help with set-up or clean-up, the teachers, staff, and Horn PTO are very grateful for your support and generosity! Thank you!"
