PTA's "A Night with the Stars" dance was amazing! Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us! We enjoyed every minute helping our Timberwolves dance the night away. Special thank you to our awesome PTA coordinators, Courtney Dunagan and Tamra Townsend, and their fantastic committee, for all their hard work planning and coordinating the entire experience. Thank you to all our sponsors and to the committee, parent, and high school volunteers who worked MANY hours to make the event super successful!

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.)
