Husky Happenings
Brought to you by the PTO
Tournament of Champions - Harvest Cup

Congratulations to our amazing 4th Grade Boys team - SILVER MEDALISTS out of 16 teams across Tustin and Irvine!

These incredible athletes won a streak of 4 games on the way to the championship (including prelims)... eventually falling to Vista Verde in a hard fought 1-2 loss in the finals. 

We are so proud of this team for their efforts - and grateful to Coach Mocny for his leadership! Way to go, Huskies!

Flag Football is up next for Tournament of Champions - we're recruiting NOW for girls and boys in 3rd - 5th grade - learn more here

Madagascar - A Musical Adventure Jr.

What a weekend! 

FOUR shows - TWO casts - HUNDREDS of cheering fans! 

Our Husky actors absolutely owned the stage - singing, dancing and entertaining families with contagious energy! Congratulations to all of our actors - and a huge thank you to the families for helping make this production such a success.

We also want to thank Lolo's Sweet Creations for the cookies, and the Robotics team (led by Mrs. Cunningham) for providing the concessions, flowers and grams!

And of course - this production could not exist without Mrs. Policare taking the lead - and our amazing PTO Musical Theater committee coordinating all of the efforts behind the scenes! Thank you all for your time, commitment and dedication to making the Musical Theater Program such a success! 

We're working on compiling our photo album from the event - send your 3-5 BEST pics to communications@hickscanyon.org to be included! 

It's not too late to join the PTO!

In fact... it's NEVER too late! You can become a member of the PTO with your donation whenever it works best for YOU. Our husky backpack buddies will be delivered to new members WEEKLY moving forward - they go into your teacher's mailbox and they get them to your student. Remember, payment plan options are available too!
