Celebrate Hebron Homecoming Oct. 20

Hicks Elementary, come on down! Join Hicks Elementary for the Hebron High School Homecoming Parade on Wednesday, October 20. The parade theme is TV Shows, and our float will be Price is Right themed.

Please meet at 5:30pm at the Hicks float in the Hebron High School student parking lot. The parade will begin at 6pm and a pep rally will follow. All Hicks students and their families are invited to participate.

Wear your Hicks Spirit Wear or dress as a Price is Right contestant. We'll provide candy to throw as we walk a short loop around the high school.  

Please direct any questions to Dana Giep at danagiep@gmail.com.

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.
