President's Note

There is a LOT of info in this newsletter so please scroll all the way through.

This week is the end of the first quarter. Woohoo! A quick reminder that we are still on cohort A/B staggered schedule. Oct. 26 will bring the return of all traditional students to the building 5 days/week. The return plan for HCES can be found here.

Spirit Wear came in. If you requested porch pickup it is available for you, addresses below. We're also ramping up our Hawk Pride donations request, finalizing plans for a Spooky Scavenger Hunt, and beginning a new holiday fundraiser with Priester's. PTA is hopping!

We will have a Happy Cart delivery for teachers on Oct. 30. If you would like to help us by donating items, there is a signup open in MemberHub. To access it, go to your "My Hubs" menu and into the Everyone hub. It is located there under signups. You should have also received an email re: this signup late last week.

You should all be hearing from your room parents. They are using MemberHub to communicate. If you do not have an account you will not receive any room parent communication. Note, creating an account does not require any payment and does not require you to become a PTA member, although with all the cool things we've got coming up, why wouldn't you? :)

MemberHub

Now is the time to join!!

HCES PTA is utilizing MemberHub for more and more, so now is the time to create an account if you haven't already.

Why should you? Well, ALL room parent communication should be coming via MemberHub. Volunteer signups, while they aren't requesting in person assistance, are starting to come out, and you guessed it - via MemberHub. If you want to keep up with receiving all communications, you really need an account. Your account gives PTA and room parents access to reach you.

Class FUNds

Although things look very different this year, us wanting to celebrate our teachers has not changed. All classes are collecting their class FUNds as usual. No, we do not know what class parties will look like yet, however we can still celebrate your teachers birthday and remember them during Teacher Appreciation week in May. Class FUNds are needed for those lift-them-ups.

You can donate to your teacher's class via our MemberHub store. We are requesting a minimum donation of $20.

If you have multiple students, as I do, please purchase multiple "products" so each individual product is assigned to a single teacher. This can still be done within one transaction, it simply makes the accounting much easier when we go to process checks for the room parents.

Hawk Pride

HCES Families,

We are introducing our new HAWK PRIDE program!

Hawk Pride is the main fundraiser for the HCES PTA. We strive to hold multiple events for the students throughout the year (Glow Dance, Spring Fling, and more) as well as cover expenses for HCES such as classroom supply funds, HCTV, library books, AR celebrations, Parade of Readers, STEAM Night, Reading Night, supplies for art, music, and PE classes, and bulk copies made by our teachers under the HCS copier contract. Some of these events are currently on our school calendar, and we are hoping (fingers crossed!) to add a few new, family-oriented events to make up for those that might not be possible due to COVID restrictions. Stay tuned!

Please join the Hawk Pride program through the shopping link on your HCES MemberHub page or via this direct link:

https://hawks.new.memberhub.store

All monies raised through your Hawk Pride donation will directly support our PTA General Budget. For each donation, you will receive one car magnet,as pictured above, to show your Hawk Pride!

Students can submit entries in multiple categories as well as multiple entries within one category.
