Seeking Kindergarten Lunch & Recess Volunteers |
Our youngest students are in need of some assistance during lunchtime! Tasks like opening cheese sticks, yogurt lids, and even putting straws in drink boxes can be challenging to little hands! If you could spare an hour of your time, please join our lunch and recess period to help make the most of this important hour of their day. And while the added bonus of visiting your special Kindergartener is undeniable, please make sure you assist and monitor all the Kindergarteners in the cafeteria and on the playground. You can sign up using this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508084CA4AE2FA3FB6-20212022

Save the Date & Consider Volunteering: the HPS Pumpkin Chuck Returns on November 6! |
The Pumpkin Chuck is HPS's biggest school-wide event of the year! It is AWESOME! It is the definition of a FUNdraiser, and YOU can help make it happen! If you're new to HPS or haven't participated in the past, just imagine it's a crisp November day right after Halloween. You pluck your now semi-rotting but beautifully carved pumpkin from the squirrels who had been feasting on it. Close your eyes now, and imagine that same pumpkin being chucked through the air via a professionally-engineered catapult (we like to call it a trebuchet) across the HPS parking lot and splatting into pumpkin mush on said parking lot, perhaps even hitting a target on its way through the air. Wipe the tear from your eye and further imagine some music, baked goods, and other cool booths to complete the surrounding ambiance--and that is the HPS Pumpkin Chuck in a nutshell (or a pumpkin seed).
If you'd like to volunteer to help with a booth, please contact Ashley Tolokonsky at ashleymat@yahoo.com. If you're good with gadgets and want to learn how to work the catapult, please contact Matt Sample at hokiebird2@gmail.com.

The HPS Spirit Wear Sale is Coming Soon.... |
Due to staffing shortages and supply chain issues, our previous spirit wear partner Koch's Sporting Goods was forced to shut down the HPS Spirit Wear website. But don't fret, the HPS PTO is lining up a new spirit wear provider and will launch a sale in the coming weeks. So stay tuned, the HPS Fall Spirit Wear Sale will just be a bit deeper into the Fall Season rather than in the end of Summer!
