ORDER SCHOOL SUPPLIES
This service is for 2nd Graders headed to Shabonee only!
Make your life easier and order school supplies today! The supplies will be at your child's desk waiting for them on the first day of school. Be sure to use our school code: SHA082 (3 letters/3numbers) and purchase the supply box for the grade that they will start in August. Pre-packed, delivered school supply boxes are only available for pre-order and the deadline is June 12. So order today and forget about it! Remember, Hickory Point provides the necessary supplies to their students so you will only need to buy supplies if you have a child headed to Shabonee next year.

2022-23 PTA COMMITTEE SIGN UP
We have so many committees, you’re sure to find something that fits your likes and talents. We can only continue to do the fun things we do with your help! Volunteer to help during the 2022-23 school year. We’re still looking for committee chairs too! (Fundraising is soooo important, please consider co-chairing if you can). Email Kate with any questions at all, kburkeriggs@gmail.com.
PTA COMMITTEE CHAIRS NEEDED
There are a few committees that need your help next year! If you wanted to get involved with the PTA, this is the perfect way. The Committees that need help are: Fundraising, Philanthropy and Yearbook.
For all of these committees, there will be someone with experience to help you and answer questions. No one is ever expected to just know what to do. They all have a committee of volunteers to help out too. So no one will have to go it alone.
Here is some more info about each committee:
Fundraising (1-2 co-chairs needed) — Plan Tasty Tuesdays at a local restaurant every other month. Plan 2-3 fundraisers each year. These can be your choice. Help with the Annual Raffle. Monitor ongoing fundraisers already in place. The majority of the work required can be done on your own time, when you have time. This committee is crucial to the PTA. Every dollar brought in by fundraising goes directly to the hardworking staff at the school.
Philanthropy (1 co-chair needed)— Help our school be philanthropic. Help teach our students how important it is to give back. This committee helps with the annual District coat drive. In the past we have done candy drives. This committee plans the Souper Bowl. And more could be done with the right person at the helm. Most everything for this committee can be done on your own time, when you have time.
Yearbook (1 co-chair needed) - Help put together the Hickory Point yearbook. Coordinate photos, help in the design and layout. Without this committee there would be no Yearbook! The work for this committee can also be done on your time.
If you are interested, please email us. Kate: kburkeriggs@gmail.com, Sam: samanthahopediamond@gmail.com
