What an incredible event! We are SO proud of all of our Huskies! Our students ran hard, our parents cheered wildly (and made some super creative signs!), our volunteers made it all happen (THANK YOU!), and (most importantly) our families helped us raise crucial funds to support the programs that the PTO funds all year long! We are so grateful for your support!

Read on to see our WINNING classes for lap counts and fundraising - we had some insanely CLOSE competitions out there!!  

Our grade-level classes win an ice-pop party to celebrate their victory! (These will take place after spring break)

MOST LAPS RUN:
These classes really put the "Hustle" in Husky Hustle! 

Winners are calculated by taking the # of total laps run and dividing by the total runners from the class. 

15-minute run sessions: 

• TK: Mrs. Crenshaw (7.8 laps) 
• Kinder: Mrs. Chao (8.35 laps) 

20-minute run sessions: 

• 1st: Mrs. Martin (10.15) 
• 2nd: Mrs. Havens (10.73)
• 3rd: Mrs. Hubbard (9.42) 
• 4th: Mrs. Pacelli (10.06)
• 5th: Mr. Hoffmann (12.27) 

We want to give a special shoutout to 5th Graders Jarvis, Cayden and Remy... they ran the most laps of the day - 20 laps each! And our top teachers cutting it up on the course; Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Hubbard & Mrs. Pacelli in the 20-minute sessions... and Mrs. Adlparvar in the 15-minute session! 

TOP FUNDRAISING CLASSES: 

Determined by donations logged Thursday night at 11:59 PM.

• TK: Mrs. Crenshaw
• Kinder: Mrs. Wright
• 1st: Mrs. Cruz
• 2nd: Mrs. Havens
• 3rd:  Mrs. DeSoto
• 4th: Mrs. Pacelli
• 5th: Mrs. Lindauer

A few of these contests came down to an absolute nail-biter finish at the last hour! DeSoto's class wins the come-from behind victory of the year! WOW!
 

Fundraising remains open through MONDAY night. Donations logged by Monday night will determine: 

• Final Charms Deliveries (to be done the week we return)
• Raffle tickets! 

What's the deal with the raffle? 

• EVERY student gets one ticket as a freebie. 
• Earn another ticket when you hit $25 in fundraising! 
• Earn 3 more tickets when you reach $100... and 3 more tickets for every $100 raised after that!

Classes will visit the raffle room as a class on Tuesday or Wednesday when we return from Spring Break and put their tickets in the boxes for the prizes they want to win. 

PARENTS: We recommend scrolling through the prizes with your student to make a plan. Some of the prizes are teacher experiences that happen after school. If your student enters and is selected for a prize that they can't attend - we can not offer a trade. Please be sure to communicate with them if this type of prize won't work for them!

Finally - we would LOVE your feedback about the event! We're always looking to improve - send your comments (what you loved, what we could modify) or your questions to huskyhustle@hickscanyon.org  

You can make a donation on the school page - it won't be credited to an individual for charms or raffle tickets - but it will contribute toward our school's goal!
