There's a lot going on at HGF and the PTA has some cool stuff happening, too. Be sure to mark your calendars with the following dates:


Meeting Reminder for THIS WEEK!
Our first PTA meeting is this Wednesday at 6:30pm in the Library. All are welcome. If you wish to renew your PTA standing, please bring $5 cash or a check with you to the meeting.

Popcorn
Our first Popcorn day will be Thursday, September 24th. You can send your child with 50-cents for plain popcorn or 75-cents for cheese popcorn.

Volunteer Opportunity - We need a handful of volunteers to help with the popping and distribution. This is a about a 2-1/2 hour commitment. Please contact Hilary if you're able to help. You can volunteer weekly, every other week, monthly or just one time - whatever works for your schedule.

Volunteer Training 
Mrs. Matthews and Mrs. V invite all volunteers to attend a Volunteer Orientation/Training Meeting on 9/24/15 at 2:00pm in the library.  We will go over different topics that will include steps to working the copier machine, volunteer procedures and a short question and answer period.  We look forward to seeing you at the meeting and thank you for sharing your time and talents as volunteers!

Box Tops Collection

With the school year coming to a close, please don't forget to turn in your Box Tops by June 17th!  You can also continue collecting all summer long, just download and print this form.

For the 2015-16 school year, we will be looking for a volunteer to be the Box Top Coordinator. This person should have excellent attention to detail and will be responsible for working with HGF and the PTA to coordinate box tops drives and incentive programs.If you are interested, please contact Stacey Weigler at saweigler@comcast.net.

BoxTop Collection - Spring Drive

It's time for our 'Spring' BoxTop Collection Drive!  (Yes, we know that this weather hardly qualifies for Spring, but we're going to ignore what that groundhog said!)

Please turn in your boxtop sheets to your child's teacher by THIS Friday. The winning class will get a pizza party!

If you have loose boxtops, please make sure they are neatly trimmed.  This is a big project and we appreciate everyone's help in keeping them organized.  You can download additional collection sheets here.

Please contact Hilary or Stacey with questions.

Our school participates in the Boxtops program and our goal is to earn $2,500 through the program this year.  Each boxtop collected is worth 10-cents, but they add up fast!

Right now Box Tops for Education is having a contest right now and we could win 1 MILLION BOXTOPS!!  Please go HERE to see how to enter.
