THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!
Thank you booster clubs, lunch time sales, red ribbon hangers, and hospitality helpers! Thank you to our watch dog dads and extracurricular supporters! Our volunteers gave over 500 hours to the school last month! Way to go!
If you haven’t logged your hours for November it’s not too late! (Or any other month that you may have missed - you can backdate and log hours for August, September, and October!) Please follow this link and enter the hours. It’s super easy.
Keep in mind that this is only for the hours where you didn't raptor in at the front desk. If the school gave you a sticker and it said "VOLUNTEER" on it, then the school logged your hours for you. If you received a sticker and it said "VISITOR", then the hours were not captured and you'll need to log them. If you are unsure, go ahead and log the hours.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS!!
WE PRESENTED OUR DONATED COLORING BOOKS AND CRAYONS TO TEXAS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL IN KATY!
WHAT A GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR SISTER SCHOOL, STOCKDICK JUNIOR HIGH!
