Come on out for some peanuts, Cracker Jacks, and BASEBALL at our April Spirit Event, Hicks Family Night at Riders Field, on Saturday night, April 23. *FIVE* lucky Hicks students who have purchased a game ticket online in our Hicks section will be picked to announce the start of the baseball game over the loud speaker and on the big screen as the “Play Ball” kids. And you definitely won’t want to miss our very own TIMBO THE TIMBERWOLF throwing out the first pitch of the game!!! Come out to cheer him on!

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.)
