Don't Miss It!
Grab your bikes or your walking shoes. The Holidays with Hogg Scavenger Hunt begins Friday, December 4 and ends at noon on Sunday, December 6!
It is a safely socially distanced fun outside benefitting your lungs and Hogg Middle School while producing Holiday Cheer!
- There will be clues along a determined route leading to tiny “flags” that are captured from boxes at Hogg family homes along the way.
- Ms. Ozanic and her art students are creating a fun mural for the backdrop of your photo-op.

You can take pics of your ugly sweaters for a photo-contest and submit them to fundraising@hoggpta.org
Tickets are $20 for PTA members and $30 for non-members (so just join for $10, why not)! The money goes back into grants for Hogg!
There is also a raffle for some amazing prizes. The main one is a one-wheel hover-board donated by Cycl on Yale.

A Note from Ms. J, our Hogg School Counselor!
The week after Thanksgiving, I will be presenting information about managing anxiety, stress with our students. I will specifically discuss self-harm with our Hogg homeroom classes. I will cover ways that students can be encouraging towards peers that are going through a difficult time. This will take place from 8-8:30 on the Friday, December 4th.
Take time to discuss this important issue with your child. As a community we want to be compassionate and understanding that this may be a sensitive subject for your family, please feel free to opt out of Friday's morning announcements if this is the case.
Websites that will help you discuss with your child the issue of self-harm, feelings of stress and anxiety during these times:
