WHAT'S PTA DOING?
The Price Was Right for Homecoming 2021

Thank you to Hicks PTA Homecoming Float Coordinator Dana Giep and her team for representing Hicks at the Hebron Homecoming Parade! And thank you to all our Timberwolves who came to cheer everyone on!

Spirit Socks Are In

If you ordered Spirit Socks for Crazy Sock Day (11/10), socks are coming home this week! 

If you still want some or need an extra pair, PTA will be selling youth sizes for $10 (credit only; no cash) at the Fall Festival Spirit Wear Booth next Friday. 

Congrats to Our Kenny's GC Winners!

Thank you to everyone who registered for our Silent Auction by 10/22! Our lucky Kenny's Burger Joint gift card recipients were the following awesome future bidders:

  • Mary Alarcon
  • Valerie Faber
  • Darci Herndon
  • Erin Owens

Do You Have What It Bakes?

We need goodies! Sign up to bring a baked good or sweet treat for our Fall Festival Bake Sale.

Silent Auction Goes Live 10/29!

We can't wait for our auction to go live on Friday! We are already one-third of the way to our bidder total. If we make our goal before the auction opens Friday at 10am, we're going to give out $10 bidding credits to 10 lucky winners! Simply register at https://hicks.cbo.io/ to be entered to win (and if you've already registered, don't worry, you're entered to win as well!)!

Volunteer at Fall Festival

Will you volunteer for a $10 gift card? PTA will give a $10 gift card to one lucky person that signs up this week to volunteer for Fall Festival! We need help setting up, breaking down, and managing a booth shift during the festival. 

We have four time slots available: 5pm-6pm, 5:45pm-7:30pm, 7:20pm-9:15pm, and 9pm-10pm.

Click here to sign up!


Got Coolers or Tables or Pumpkins or Legs?

PTA needs some tables, coolers, unpainted pumpkins, and people to run (and gather items) for Fall Festival. Are you able to loan us any of these items to use during Fall Festival? If YES, please sign up to help!

Calling all PTA Faculty and High School Seniors! Texas PTA awards $1000 to eligible high school seniors and up to $500 scholarships to eligible faculty members at any school level that has a PTA/PTSA on their campus. These scholarships are made possible by the commitment of our half a million members and volunteers who understand that creating an environment of active, engaged families can make the difference in education.

Apply now! For more information and to access the application, visit www.txpta.org/scholarships.

TREAT YO'STAFF

Wondering how to spoil our staff? PTA has all their favorite things on our website.

Many of our Hicks staff created Amazon Wish Lists this year. Consider helping a staff member by purchasing an item(s) off their online wish lists!

FUN-RAISERS

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.
