HFES E-News - 9/26/16
PTA Meetings Our board meets the 1st Tuesday of the month from 4:00-5:00 in the media center. These meetings are business in nature and are a time for each officer and committee chair to share progress and updates. Larger school-wide PTA update meetings will be held in conjunction with scheduled school wide events. We still have a need for a few officers and committee chairs. Please take a moment to send in your questionnaire for the PTA or sign up online here.

Did you know that our school nurse used 5000 Band-aids last year? Wow! That is a a lot of boo boos! As you are shopping this week and next, please consider picking up a box of band-aids (100 or more in box) for our nurse. They can be any brand or off brand except for those at the Dollar Store as those do not stick. She is also looking for Aldi Brand Snack sized ziploc bags and boxes of tissues. Please bring your band aids with you to school marked with a note that says "For Nurse" and give it to your teacher. Donations can also be dropped off in the front office. School Beautification Work Day - 10/8/16 - Join us! We need volunteers on Saturday, October 8 from 8:30 - 11:30 to continue our work around campus. Projects will include general clean up and landscaping around the school and a few indoor projects. Contact Virginia McNamee if you would like to help or have questions at [email protected]. Coffee Fundraiser - Coming Up in October! Our first fundraiser of the year will start in October! We will be selling Enderly Coffee - a local coffee company started by two local teachers. Information will come home early in October. This fundraiser benefits year-long PTA projects, grade-level IB experiences, and teacher appreciation efforts. You can sell coffee to your friends and family or purchase for gifts. There will be opportunities to purchase cups and mugs as well. School Pictures - 10/6/16 - Don't Forget! Order forms and information for school pictures were sent home with students this week. Pictures will be taken on October 6, and students are not required to wear uniforms for school pictures. These pictures will also be featured in the student yearbook available for purchase in the Spring. Rolling Out The Red Carpet! Volunteers with experience in installing carpet are needed on October 29th to install the new carpet in front office recently purchased by the PTA. Volunteers will be led by Charlie Fonville, HFES Dad, on this project. Please contact Virginia McNamee if you can help at [email protected]. PTA in Action!
