Student of the Week: Analisa Garcia!
|
|
From the Spotlight: "
Analisa has been my daughter’s close friend since 1st grade. She is always looking out for her friends. She often messages my daughter to make sure she’s keeping up with her schoolwork. As a parent, this is the kind of friend you want your child to have."

Analisa Garcia, 6
th
grader at Hogg Middle School, is our Student of the Week because she exhibits the IB Learner Trait of CARING! Analisa is bilingual! Her first language is Spanish, and she has learned English quickly. Her favorite animal is the hedgehog!
Analisa believes she was chosen as CARING because she stands up for people. She is inspired by her mom because she received a degree in nursing. Her future education plans include transferring to HSPVA and eventually attending a college where she can study marine biology. Analisa’s goal is simple. She wants to change the world!
Her hobbies include playing the ukulele and piano and reading.

Staff of the Week : Ms. Segovia!
|
|
Ms. Vanessa Segovia, 8
th
Grade Secretary at Hogg Middle School, is our Staff of the Week because she exhibits the IB Learner Trait of BALANCED! Ms. Segovia has been married for 10 years and has two beautiful daughters ages 15 and 8. She is a native Houstonian and is proud that she has been involved with Girls Scouts for over 30 years! Currently she is a leader for a Daisies and Senior Troop; however, she also helps with other groups as well.
Ms. Segovia believes she is BALANCED because she gets it from her parents who always balanced their activities as she was growing up. She admires their work ethic because they worked hard all day and still made time for their family. She states, “My parents never sat down!” Ms. Segovia also credits Girls Scouts for helping her maintain a sense of balance in her life. Ms. Segovia is inspired by life. She believes that she should live life to the fullest- tomorrow is never promised.
Ms. Segovia’s educational years began at Stephen F. Austin University. She then finished her paralegal and associates degree from Center for Advanced Legal Studies. She worked for a title company for 12 years but wanted to spend more time with her children during their school years; therefore, she took a position with HISD and was assigned to Crockett Elementary then transitioned to Hogg Middle School last year.
Her goals are to return to SFA and obtain her Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and continue working with HISD. Ms. Segovia’s hobbies include photography, reading, Girl Scouts, and exploring Houston. She states, “Coming into a new school and into 8
th
grade was a bit nerve-wracking, but the parents and the students were very welcoming which made the transition easier.”

Hogg Service Project
Help Build a Library for the Covenant House for Teens

Not every teen has a home. But every teen should have people that care enough about them to give them a library.
Be that person!
Bring a gently-used or new book to the library by the 16th. We will close the donations at Literacy Night, Tuesday, April 16th. You can also bring the donations to Literacy Night.
|
|
As of Monday, April 1, you can purchase the Hogg Yearbook online. Books will be shipped to the school at the end of April, where the online orders will be distributed to students. Leftover books will be sold during lunch until all books are sold.
|
|
Your voice matter! On Tuesday, April 9th at 6pm in the Hogg Auditorium, we will review the slate of officers nominated by the Nominations Committee, consider candidates nominated from the floor, and ultimately have all present Hogg PTA members vote to elect our 2019-2020 PTA Officers.

2nd Annual Skate Night a Fabulous Success!
|
|
We had over 300 people join us for music, skating, sumo wrestling, and snacks! Plenty of students who had never skated before were brave enough to get out there and learn some moves.
This event would not have been possible without the unstoppable Martha Martinez, James Inman, and a host of other parents who donated time and resources.
We also want to send a special shout out to Ms. Deason for graciously helping us out with pictures for the event. Finally, we had several stellar students from Heights High School and the Gents of North Houston Early College support us as volunteers for the event.
Thank you to everyone who came out to ensure that all 8th Graders have an opportunity to participate in the
the 8th Grade End of Year Events.
Next year we plan to do it even bigger and better 😊.
