To our Hicks administration, staff, and parents who volunteer their time and talents: PTA says THANK YOU! Thank you so very much for every minute of teaching, cleaning, counseling, wiping noses AND tables, providing wellness for the sick, for planning and coordinating events, for making copies, for creating artful displays, for answering phones and directing traffic, and for logging long hours grading, tutoring, mentoring, and preparing for each day. We appreciate you Staff and Parents and are so grateful for your time and service to bettering our school. 

Happy Thanksgiving Hicks Family from Your Hicks PTA Board!

Got Snacks?

The staff snacks have DISAPPEARED! Timbo needs your help refilling the Timberwolf Snack Bar.

  1. Bring individually packaged, non-perishable items to stock the snack bar like trail mixes, chips, cookies, popcorn, sweet treats, granola bars, jerky, canned beverages, or any other type of snacks you’d like to share. Please drop off your item(s) at the Hicks Office through Friday, December 3.
  2. 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.

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.)
