Husky Happenings
BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE PTO
Boys Dance

HCE was Rockin' and Rollin' at the Boys Dance last Thursday night! Hoola-hoop races, games, Photo Booth silliness - and of course - the dance-off championships!

Huskies headbanged (and cartwheeled!) across the dance floor after filling their bellies on delicious food and visiting our sponsor friends ... just a perfect evening at Hicks!

We're grateful to the amazing Dance Committee (and especially our lead - chairing her last dance at Hicks - Andrea!!) for putting together such a rockin' good time! 

Hustle Award - Challenge #6 Winners!

Congratulations to MRS. LEHMAN'S Kindergarten grade class for winning the 6th Hustle Challenge Award! They had the highest % of kids with a donation logged on their fundraising site by last night (70%) - earning them the trophy and goodie bags for each student from ANTHILL shopNplay!

Challenge #7 - THE FINAL CHALLENGE is ON NOW - this one goes to the class that has the highest biggest JUMP in fundraising between TODAY AT NOON and Sunday at 11:59 PM! Let's see who comes out on top! (Here's the starting numbers).
