Let's Stock the Timberwolf Snack Bar

It's Snack Time for our AWESOME Hicks staff! Hicks PTA is setting up the Timberwolf Snack Bar to provide teachers and staff with free snacks during the day. We need your help!

Bring individually packaged, non-perishable items to stock the snack bar. Sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/904094DAFAA2FA0FC1-teachers and drop off your item(s) at the Hicks Office through Friday, October 1.
Decorate a heart! Print this heart and have your child write a message or decorate the heart. Hearts can be returned to the Hicks Office with your snack donation.

Thanks for helping us share some love with our wonderful teachers and staff! If you have questions, contact Evelyn Chang at Evelyn.mk.bae@gmail.com.

Teacher Work Room and Library Volunteers Wanted

We're looking for volunteers to help in the Teacher Work Room and the Library! These volunteer opportunities will recur weekly, but the day and time is flexible based on your availability. Please contact the Hicks PTA Volunteer Coordinator at thesvolunteer@gmail.com for details. Be sure to also complete your background check on Voly if not already approved to volunteer on campus.

LISD requires cleared background checks for all on-campus visitors. Register on Voly and submit your background check ASAP so you can sign up for volunteer opps, field trips, and general meetings. Be sure to become a fan of Hicks Elementary so our school opps appear in your feed first. (Note: It could take up to three weeks for your background check to clear.)

Questions? Email the Hicks PTA Volunteer Coordinator, thesvolunteer@gmail.com.
