Hixson Holiday Baskets
Our Counselors are once again hoping to put together 20 Thanksgiving feasts for Hixson families in need. Hixson families and staff are welcome to sign up to donate items to fill the baskets! Please click here to sign up to donate. All items should be dropped off at the counselors' office by 11-19-15.
If you are a Hixson family in need or know of a family who could benefit from a holiday meal, please click here. You can return this form to the grade level counselor. Please feel free to contact Linda Peterson, 7th grade counselor, at 314-918-4554 or Sarah Bodi, 8th grade counselor, at 314-918-4555 with any questions.
Come shop at Barnes & Noble (Ladue or West County Mall locations) on Saturday, November 14, 2015, any time during business hours, and help raise funds for the Webster Groves Orchestra Program. You may either present a flyer, or just mention the fundraiser at checkout, and a portion of your sales will go to the WG Orchestra Program! Even the Starbucks Café sales count! Several student groups will be performing throughout the day at both locations. Thanks for your support!
Student Council Food Drive - Nov. 2 through Nov. 20
Hixson is participating in a food drive competition with Nipher Middle School from Kirkwood. Last year, Nipher won the coveted "Turkey Day Trophy", so Student Council has set a goal of 220 items for each team. Students can place their donated items in their team barrel located in the main lobby. The winning Hixson team will get a popcorn party! To see the current standings, click here.
Thank you for your support and encouragement of your children. We look forward to our continued partnership!
Please let me know if I can be of help to you or your child in any way. Feel free to email, call, or schedule a visit- my door is always open!
Sincerely,
Dr. Smith
