THIS WEEK AT HICKS

Today

No School - Washington's birthday!

Wednesday

Lunar New Year Celebration craft activity - all grades. Join us to volunteer assisting students to create Lion Dance Headbands! Brought to you by the PTO - in partnership with our Mandarin Immersion classes

Friday

Lunar New Year all school assembly - Lion Dance! We can't wait to share pics as we celebrate with our Huskies!

This Friday through NEXT Friday (the 27th)

It's Scholastic Book Fair Week! Brought to you by the PTO
- Teachers take their classes to visit the book fair during the school day, and students can also visit during their recess and after lunch.
- You can shop WITH your students before school (7:45 AM - 8:30 AM) or after school. And of course at Evening at the Book Fair NEXT Thursday.
- What we ask of YOU (the parents):
  - Provide your student(s) with either cash to bring to school to shop, OR load their "e-wallet" with Scholastic. If they have funds on their e-wallet, they simply tell our volunteers their name, and they will be able to shop with that credit.
  - Make sure your student knows which method of payment they will be using. Our teachers are not always aware of who has funds on their e-wallet and who plans to use cash.
  - Volunteer with us for a shift! Shifts run throughout the school day in short blocks - and it's fun!
  - Consider "rounding up" your purchase to the nearest dollar - those extra pennies will go toward the "Share the Fair" fund - used to purchase books for our library and teacher wish lists!

Sunday

BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE PTO

PBIS Pizza Parties!

The PTO was proud to host 2 pizza parties on Friday (one for Tk-2nd grade, and another for 3rd-5th).

Students can purchase tickets to these parties (hosted 3x/year) using their PBIS "points" (ask your Husky to explain how they get points, aka "Husky Hurrahs"). They are treated to pizza, chips and a spirited game of BINGO with Mrs. Vela and Mrs. Fitch! There are prizes for all to celebrate this fun event!

Check out our album for more photos from the festivities!

A huge thanks to all the parent volunteers who joined to support!

Hustle Award - Where will it go!?

Our FIRST Challenge winner was announced last week - congrats to Mrs. Wright's Class for having the highest % of students registered for the Hustle in the first week!

Did you catch the Hustle Report to see the winning class with their trophy? You can see our first two HUSTLE REPORT videos here!

Challenge #2 ended last night at 11:59 PM - and the winning class is the one who had the MOST NEW students registered for the Hustle over the last week. Our winning class will be revealed tomorrow when students are back in school!

Details of Challenge #3 are below. ALL students who are registered for the Hustle can help bring your class the trophy with this one!

Get your Yearbook for FREE...

Yearbook sales are underway (announced in the HOWL). But did you know that if you reach $750 in fundraising for the Hustle... you get yours for FREE? It's true!

That's where the good stuff happens, if we're being honest...
