Green/Gold Day

Mark your calendars for our inaugural Green/Gold Day on Friday, October 28th! We will celebrate our first season of campus sports with a tailgate party, athletic competitions, food and much fun! This will be the main campus social event for the quarter.

We are asking for Dad volunteers to help us plan the tailgate party by bringing their grills and best tailgate grub to share. If you are interested, please contact Kazia Estrada.

Spirit Days / Nights

On Tuesday, October 25, we will have a Spirit Night at Peter Piper Pizza. The address is 12475 IH-10 W. A portion of all sales will be donated back to Invictus. You just need to mention "Great Hearts Invictus" at checkout.

Literary Character Day

A rich tradition at Great Hearts campuses is our Literary Character Day. This celebration will take place on Friday, November 4th. Students will have the opportunity to dress in costume of any book character that fits within the scope of our curriculum. Their selection will need to be pre-approved by their classroom teacher. More info will come soon.

If you want to shop now and also play it safe, any character from the campus' Classics to Keep will be approved. You do not need to stay within the classics of your grade. For instance, a kinder scholar may dress as Pinocchio (3rd grade text). Costumes do not have to be store bought! Feel free to get creative with items you may already have at home.

Pop-culture costumes will not be allowed. See some examples below:

Helotes 0.5k

On Saturday, October 22, GH Invictus will be a race sponsor and participant in the Helotes 0.5k. Throughout the race, there will be various "activity stations" setup. Our campus will be running one of these stations with the Caber Toss.

According to their race website... It takes no talent to finish a 546 yard “race.” This event sponsored by the Helotes Chamber of Commerce will support the Helotes Chamber Foundation. So whether you are a workout junkie or a full time slouch or somewhere in between this event is perfect for you!!

If you're interested in participating, you can sign-up here.
