One (1) vote a day per email (the more email addresses you have the more you can vote!)....Let's vote EVERYDAY from Jan. 22- 26!
Earlier this year, we entered the Follett Challenge, a program created by Follett to find and reward schools for their work applying technology, content and creativity in ways that engage students, foster literacy and promote critical thinking. As part of the competition, we created a short video about what makes our program unique.
January 22 – 26, 2018 the VOTING BEGINS!
We are asking for full support with viewing our video and voting for our submission at www.follettchallenge.com at the following link: https://follettchallenge.com/videos/967 Twenty percent of our total score is based on how well we spread the word about our video and earn votes! Let's spread the word through parent communications with your students' families too! You can cast one vote per day January 22 – 26, 2018, so be sure to visit often!
By casting your vote, you’ll help us to spread the word about all the exciting activities going on in our school.

Coming in Spring 2018 . . .
Our school is pleased to support a student artworks project this spring! Students will be working on drawings at school, which we’ll send to SilverGraphics Studios for scanning. Then, in Spring 2018, you’ll have the chance to order from over 50 products featuring your child’s artwork.
SilverGraphics has some wonderful customized products including: mugs, potholders, water bottles, ceramic tiles, pendant necklaces, iphone covers, art slates, environmentally-friendly canvas bags, and more. Photos of these products and other favorites can be viewed at www.silvergraphics.com
Thank you to those of you that have already starting sending in Box Tops so far this year! Our first submission was sent to the Box Tops program, and our school will be receiving a check for over $2,000 already, including the remaining Box Tops submitted at the end of the 2016-2017 school year. As you can see, Box Tops does collect a significant amount of money for our PTA, and we couldn't do it without your help!!
As a reminder, I'm so grateful when the Box Tops are sent in to school already clipped, counted & bag in sets of 50. It makes sorting them so much less time consuming for me and our volunteers. Therefore, please send unexpired Box Tops, in groups of 50, with the bag or envelope clearly marked with the number of Box Tops, your child's name, teacher, and grade.
The Box Tops contest is underway, and one classroom at both HTS and PVS with the highest Box Tops total during the school year will win an ice-cream party in the spring!!
Keep up the great work!! If you would like to volunteer to clip & count Box Tops, please email me at
