Parent Night

Tuesday, September 13, we encourage all Elementary parents to join Mrs. Brown at for Parent Night.  You will learn about Readers/Writers Workshop and Understanding the Skill Basked Report Card.  These are two important topics for all parents.  Meet at 6:00pm in the Event Center (Cafeteria) for a brief message from Dr. Quesinberry, followed by time with Mrs. Brown in 2106 (Room behind cafeteria).  Look forward to seeing you there.


Elementary Chapel

Join HGCS Elementary students on Thursday, September 15, at 8:00AM for chapel.  Please enter through the doors of the Education Center, where the reception desk is located and go directly to the Worship Center.


Fall Pictures

Dear Parent:

St. John Photography will be visiting your school to take Color photographs of your children.

Frequently, candid shots produce excellent results in comparison to studio portraits.  Individuals are having fun – doing what they normally do – so they appear natural and relaxed.  Dress your child as you normally would, formal clothing may inhibit his or her activities.

If rain is forecast, please assume that any showers will be brief and pictures will be taken as usual.  If the shoot is rescheduled, please bear with us – pictures taken outside are much nicer than ones in front of artificial backgrounds.

There are no up-front fees or obligations to purchase any of the prints.  Proofs will be available online for you to view the week after pictures are taken.

St. John Photography has photographed children at many schools in the Charlotte area; and we know you will be pleased with the truly unique images they are able to capture.  Please call St. John Photography directly with any questions you may have:  704-889-7800.

Schedule:
September 20: Little, Mullis, Moldenhauer, Angle, Hoffman, Brynildsen, Cheuvront, Pazun
Conner, Jaynes, McEntire, Hamilton, Gioeli

September 21:  Beni, Perry, Russell, Martin, Pagan, Wigley

Box Tops for Education

It’s time to turn in your summer Box Top collections.  As a reminder, at the beginning of summer we asked you to save your Box Tops.  We will award a pizza lunch to the Elementary and Middle school class that collects the most Box Tops.  Please submit labels in a ziploc bag with your child’s name, grade, and homeroom teacher.  It would be helpful if you could put them in bags of 50 Box tops.  The Box Tops are due by Friday, September 9th.

The Academy of Music and Art

Did you know that The Academy of Music & Arts currently offers affordable, private lessons in PIANO & VOICE?  This fall, we also have the potential for violin lessons. (We just need to know if there’s an interest!)
