President's Note
Anyone else feeling those 19 days of school yet? My house keeps running a little later each morning. By next month, I figure we'll be starting our Monday on a Tuesday.

Speaking of a Tuesday...put "Attend Open House/Back to School Bash/General PTA Membership meeting" on your calendars. We know there's a lot going on that night, but we also know it's going to be a lot of fun. Volunteers are still needed to help man a few carnival games - the link to sign up is below.

Don't miss the info about the upcoming Campus Clean Up Day. If you're an outdoorsy kind of family, this may be just the thing for you! You'll find the link to let us know you're coming down below.

Our membership drive is blasting off! (yeah, I know that's corny, and it was totally pun-intended) Take a look at the classroom progress bulletin board by the cafeteria next Tuesday night and you'll see what I mean.

Finally, PTA members, you should have received an email from me through MemberHub containing the proposed PTA budget for this school year. Please look it over. We'll be asking for a vote on it during the general membership meeting.

See y'all tomorrow!

We can’t wait to see your child at the Fair!
HCES people are the best!
Many thanks to Amy Holland, Holly Schreiber, and Sarah Thompson for providing our teachers and staff with a fun, football Happy Cart. Sounds like it was a hit!

Also, thank you to Jenn Moss and Brittany Willis for being the cookie (delivery) monsters on Friday for our classes that have reached 50% PTA membership. I bet they were glad to see you at their doors!
Do you still have your Kindergarten signs?
We need them back!
Every one that is returned is one less that we'll need to purchase again next summer.

Drop them off during morning or afternoon car line, drop them off at the front door of the school whenever you drive by, or drop them off in the front office whenever you visit the school.
