SUBJECT: Tails from the Bark Side - 5/5/25

May 5, 2025
This Week at Hicks

ALL WEEK: 

  • It's Teacher Appreciation Week! Check the schedule below for all the details - and help us celebrate the best teachers in all of TUSD (and beyond)!

Tuesday (5th Grade) & Thursday (TK - 4th): 

  • Students will be visiting the Husky Hustle RAFFLE - and placing their tickets in the items 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 isn't a good fit!

Friday: 

  • It's the Husky Hustle rewards assembly - a high flying BMX show for the whole school to start the day! We're excited to celebrate an amazing Hustle!

  • KONA ICE will be on campus from 2-3:15 serving up treats for $5 - with a portion of proceeds supporting the PTO! It's looking like it will be a PERFECT day for a cold treat to kick off the weekend!  


Our last month of school is PACKED with activities! Check out ALL the good stuff coming up on Happenings:
