HWES Campus Clean Up Day – Sunday, May 20

JAdair — Fri, 18 May 2012 11:38:36 +0000

CAMPUS CLEAN UP DAY - our second and final Campus Clean-Up Day is
scheduled for Sunday, May 20 from 10:30-1:30 p.m. Take a quick peek
at our school website's Home page...the clipart information for Campus
Clean is so cute...thanks Jen Adair! Be sure to meet at the Homestead
building and everyone will then be given an area to work on either at
Homestead or at Wakefield. Mulch will be delivered to both buildings
and the Committee (thanks, Elizabeth Cotton!) is going to purchase
flowers and hanging baskets to freshen up and beautify our campus.
For those who came out to help with our first Campus Clean-Up back on
October 9 (seems like just yesterday...this year is flying!), we sure
had a lot of fun while making our campus shine. The kids wore their
jersey's and spirit wear to plant, mulch and clean up, the Hospitality
Committee supplied bottles of water for all (and will again on
Sunday!), Bel Air United Methodist sent MANY folks over to help (and
will be doing this again for this clean-up day!!) and HWES families
bonded and created a cleaner, prettier campus for all of our kids!

HWES Art Show 2012

JAdair — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:45:32 +0000

ANNUAL ART SHOW – this year’s Art Show, “Art Shapes the World”, was
wonderific!!! There have been so many people commenting on the HWES
Museum of Art!! How talented are our children?!?!?!?!!!!! We are
fortunate to have the dedicated, creative and talented art teachers we
do….Ms. Criss, Ms. Bryne and Ms. Johnson…thank you, thank you,
thank you!!! Another event that takes hours to arrange, set-up, clean-
up and return art work. Plus, there were many volunteers who helped
hang these works of art for the show. It says a lot and it is clear
to see why HWES is second to none when you think about the
following….last night was a nice night, excellent weather, a night
that is heavy into the sports practices and we still had an awesome
attendance! We are fortunate to have such a supportive Wildcat
community! There were many families that came out last night and
stayed for a good while to enjoy the show and crafts. Thanks to
everyone who made it out last night to the art show!!

Box Tops – Clip and Earn

JAdair — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:57:59 +0000

The “Box Tops” collection program has brand new events this year to encourage greater participation. We will have both individual and classroom competitions and award prizes throughout the year. Each classroom will designate a box top leader who will cut, count, and coordinate totals for the classroom. Direct your children to fill up any sheet of paper with box top cut and glued (or in plastic bag), and turn them into their classroom teacher. Please write their full name, grade, and teacher on the bag/sheet of paper. If you do not have 50 box tops, you can still turn in individual box tops that count towards the classroom totals!

Classroom Competition: The classroom (per grade level) with the most box tops collected by October 20 and then by Feb 17 will receive an ice cream party at the school cafeteria and be visited by the box top mascot.

Individual Competition: This will be going on in tandem with the classroom competition. Once your child turns in 50 box tops to their classroom, they are eligible to enter into the monthly box top raffle. The teacher will provide them with an entry slip to be placed in the main office with a box marked Box Tops! We will draw the winners (one winner per school) at the end of each month and announce them over the morning announcements. The more you turn in, the more entries you get to submit each month. Prizes will vary from gift cards to small toys/stuffed animals depending o the age group that won. Contact me if you have any new prizes your would like to donate to the box tops program.

We hope this will encourage the student/parent to get excited about earning free money for the school. Don’t forget to visit the Box Tops Website before doing online shopping at many stores (earn up to 15% of purchases) or buying books (6% of purchases). We earned a little over $4000 last year and I think we can earn even more. Two area schools earned $10,000 and $15,000 last year. I think we can work toward those goals with everyone’s support!!

Any Questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at davidfeick@hotmail.com.

Thank You,

Carin Feick
Box Top Coordinator
