We had a great turnout at Chuck E. Cheese yesterday! Thank you to all of the HSA-FW families who came to support the PTO (and have some fun too)! It was especially fun to see all the teachers there! We've made $341 so far! A special thanks to Rabeya B. & Betsy B., our Spirit Night Coordinators for putting that together! On Monday, the PTO hosted a luncheon for all of the hard-working staff members at HSA-FW. We asked Kindergarten parents to donate the food for it, and they came through BIG TIME. We are so thankful to everyone that donated - it means more than you realize. The teachers were so happy to know it was all from Kinder parents and they appreciated it so much!
The winner(s) of the PTO Membership Contest are...
Ms. Evans! This Kindergarten teacher won with 11 PTO members in her class. Thank you to Ms. Evans for helping the PTO recruit amazing HSA-FW parents. Her class wins a $50 gift card and an extra recess for their efforts. We have a surprise 2nd place winner... There was a tie!

We had such a great time seeing old friends and meeting new ones! Thanks to those that stopped by our table to chat and to sign up for PTO this year. We know that if everyone helps even a little bit, the sky is the limit for what we can accomplish.
We asked and our Tigers answered! Our Box Top Coordinator, Michelle V., held one last contest for the kids. For each completed Box Top sheet that was turned in, the child's name went into a drawing. We had a total of 24 sheets turned in, which means 600 Box Tops! The winner of the drawing was Jaden S. from 2A. Jaden received a Build-A-Bear gift card for his efforts. Great job, bud! We also had one student turn in FOUR sheets, all by herself! Congrats Aubrie P. from 1B! Aubrie, you are awesome!! She also received a gift card to Build-A-Bear!
Right after Kinder Round-up, we had our last PTO meeting of the year and then... GAME NIGHT! At the meeting, we filled STAAR snacks so each child would have something the next week to remind them how awesome they are. After that came PTO elections for the 2019-2020 Board, and after that, came dinner and games! It was so great to chat with fellow HSA parents and the kids had a great time. We had some competitive rounds of BINGO and a ton of fun. Thank you Ms. Reynisha for coordinating the dinner for everyone! And thanks to everyone who came. We have a great group of parents! It was so fun to see all the new Kindergartners that will be joining us at HSA in the fall! We have some amazing Kinder teachers - your kids are in GREAT hands!
A special thanks to Turk from HSI for coming and doing some photo opps with the kids. He was a hit! If you're a new-to-HSA Kinder parent, please make sure you join the PTO at Orientation! Parental involvement is KEY to the success of our students AND teachers! |
