HOWARD PARENT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION (HPSA)
This Friday, December 16th, HPSA will be popping popcorn for students to enjoy at school. Teachers will collect money Thursday and Friday mornings. To purchase popcorn for your student please send exactly 50 cents to buy their popcorn. No change will be given. Once again, stories were shared that parents sent in extra money to cover children who didn’t bring money in, and we are very grateful for that. We witnessed a lot of children happily snacking on popcorn throughout the day that wouldn’t have received any, if it were not for the generous hearts that sent in extra change. Thank you parents! Any additional money, that cannot be used for other students, will be donated to HPSA to help fund busing for our students field trips. Seroogy’s Chocolate sale 331 were sold at the concert (496.50) HPSA owes Seroogy's $432.00 and HPSA's profits after all bars are sold will be $432.00! (plus the $15.60 in tips, $447.60) Our little bus tree raised an additional $44.10, and some awareness of HPSA’s purpose to our families. Email [email protected] with any questions you may have.
