I'm excited to also have this time to meet folks and share conversations too.  The administrators and counselors will be set up in front of the main office during conferences.  On Thursday, I will be out of the building for a previous commitment from 4:30pm-7:30pm.  I'll be present and available during the rest of the conference days.

Hixson STUCO will be selling Hixson fleece lined pullovers during conferences.  Proceeds will go toward funding the many projects and ideas the Student Council has been developing this year.  Some of the projects include:  Festival of Nations, Red Ribbon Week activities, school parties/dances, Cookies for Courage and donation drives to help aid those affected by the many natural disasters earlier this year.
Order forms can be found here

Please bring cash or check to purchase a pullover during conferences. STUCO students will be displaying the pullovers and taking orders throughout the three days.  Our students thank you in advance for the support!

Moss Field and Rec Center Parking Lots
A gentle reminder to please watch out for cars dropping students off and also for students walking through the parking lots to school.  There have been numerous concerns voiced about cars who are driving throughout the lots while kids are walking or being dropped off as well as driving fast through the lots.

Hixson Kids on the Move
Thank you to our awesome 8th grade Jazz Band students and directors, Mr. Stevison and Ms. Tokos, for performing at the Rotary Club's annual Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser this morning.  They were amazing and added great festivity to the event! Our kids are very talented and represented our Hixson pride this morning.


Have a great weekend reconnecting with each other!

With Gratitude,
Grace
