Hickory PTA's December Roundup

Happy December!  As per usual, December and the holiday season seems to be zipping by us.  We are T-minus 3 days until winter break and you can bet everyone is excited! Don't forget that this Thursday, 12/19 is Pajama Day! Come dressed in your coolest and coziest PJs. Also happening on Thursday is our PTA Association meeting at 7pm in the cafeteria.  Come join us for our meeting and to also enjoy a performance by our Hickory Chorus!

 

Here's the latest on PTA happenings...

 

*The PTA is looking for any parents/friends who may have a sound system that we can use for 1 day for an upcoming event at school in March.  If you or someone you know, is able to help, please contact us at hickorypta@outlook.com. Thank you.

Toy Loan Drive - We cannot thank our Hickory community enough.  We asked and boy did you all deliver!  We received the most toy donations we've ever received for our Toy Loan Drive!  The Toy Loan Program with the County of LA is a free service allowing children to borrow toys.  There are toy loan centers throughout LA County. For a list of Toy Loan Centers, please visit:  http://dpss.lacounty.gov/wps/portal/dpss/main/programs-and-services/toy-loan/toy-loan-centers/

 

A huge kudos to you all and a big shout out to our Toy Loan Chair, Ryan Kitagawa and his team - you guys rock! 

Lost & Found - Parents please visit our Lost & Found bins outside of the PTA room (located near the front gates across from the front office) to see if any items may belong to your child.  Since the first day of school, the pile of jackets, shirts, lunch bags, water bottles, etc., has grown into quite the mound!  As of 3:30pm on Friday December 20th, ALL ITEMS will be DONATED to a local donation center.  We also have a small bin of glasses and other accessories, located inside the PTA room.  

Adventures In Art - Our second Adventures in Art project is well under way. With the "Joichi Hoshi Trees" project, students get to learn about block printing.  They are able to create colorful trees using a monotype technique involving cardstock, plexiglass, block printing ink and a brayer!  Thank you to all our amazing team of AIA docents and especially to our chair, Amanda Kirsch for all your hard work and dedication!  We are all looking forward to the spring Art Show!

Teacher's Wish List - With this season of giving, we would like to remind parents of our Teacher Wish List which can be found in the PTA room.  We encourage teachers to 'list' any items their classrooms are in need of. If you are looking for gift ideas for your teacher, please consider dropping by to check out our Teacher Wish List!

Winter break begins on December 23, and school resumes on January 6th, 2020!

 

On behalf of the entire Hickory PTA team, we would like to wish everyone a very happy holiday season and a wonderful New Year ahead.  See you in the next decade!
