PENGUIN PATCH HOLIDAY SHOP

We're so excited that our school will be participating in an in-school Penguin Patch® Holiday Shop to spread holiday cheer and to raise money for the Hickory Point PTA!

Our shop will be open next week, from Wednesday, December 6 through Thursday, December 7.

Your student will have over 100 delightful gifts to choose from, all ranging in price from $0.50 to $12. Payment options include cash, check and an e-wallet. This is an amazing opportunity to empower your student to choose, purchase, and give gifts to their loved ones! Examples of gifts available for purchase can be found here Penguin Patch Holiday Shop Gifts. 

If your child prefers to shop with cash, envelopes will be sent home with your student on Monday, December 4. Please return the money envelope on the day your child's class will be shopping. See below for a list of which day each class will be visiting the Holiday Shop.

SUPPORT STAFF GIFT COLLECTION

The PTA is organizing a voluntary holiday gift collection for the Hickory Point Support Staff. This collection is intended for all staff members except your child's classroom teacher, including principals, office staff, janitorial staff, instructional assistants, specialists/therapists, and special teachers (PE, music, art, library), etc. While the suggested amount is $30 per family, any contribution is warmly appreciated. You can send your donation via Zelle to our treasurer at hpptatreasurer@hotmail.com or drop a check (made payable to the Hickory Point PTA) or cash to Dana Schneider (1648 Longvalley Dr). Please include your child's name on the memo line or attach a note so that we can include your family's name on the card. The collection will continue until December 11. (Note: Room parents are handling gifts for classroom teachers).

VOLUNTEER AT SCHOOL

Come help out at the Bulldog Boutique! Volunteers will set up and manage 2 prize tables where students can use their Bulldog Bucks to select prizes.
