DR Trip Donation Requests

Hickory Grove Christian School

Dominican Trip Donation Requests

Our Senior Class is headed to the Dominican for our annual Mission Trip. The dates of the trip are January 8-12, 2018. This trip would not be possible without the donations from our Hickory Grove families. Below is a list of items we are asking for students to donate. Collection dates will be after Christmas, but while you are doing your Christmas shopping, here are a few things you could pick up for the Dominican people.

Monetary donations are also being taken to purchase food bags once the students arrive in the Dominican. Students assemble and distribute the food bags to families in the villages and communities while they are there ministering to the local people. A small gift of $15.00 will feed a family of four for one month.

Please contact the high school office at 704-531-4077 if you have any questions.

Thank you for your contributions to the people of the Dominican Republic!

Dates for Collection: December 11 –Jan 5

If you have donations you would like to drop off prior to the collection dates listed,

please bring items to the High School Office. There will be yellow bins through the school to drop your items off. Thank you!

Change Wars

Each year we have a competition in our classrooms to collect change for a worthy cause.  This year, we are supporting Megan Wisehart who will be participating in an 11-month journey called Worldrace that begins in January.  She will be traveling to the many “hard places” to share the love of Christ.  The change we collect will be given to support her journey.  Her last day with us is Dec 15.  Begin praying for her now as she prepares mentally, physically, financially, and spiritually for the journey ahead.

Specials Teachers and Supply Helpers Appreciation Day – November 17th

We are thankful for our children’s well rounded education through the Specials Classes that are offered each week.  We are also thankful for those staff members that purchase and print the supplies they use each day.  Please plan to say a special thank you to them on Friday, November 17^th by sending in notes of encouragement, seasonal gifts, and special treats.  Your Room Mom will notify you of your grade assigned Specials Teachers and then please find your grade’s Supply Helpers on the list below to recognize as well.

TK, Kindergarten, and 1^st Grade – Mrs. Jane Tart (Purchasing)

2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th Grades – Mr. Jim Bob (Print Shop)

Bless a child for Christmas  Toys for Tots collection dates will be Nov 1 thru Nov 30.

Middle collection box: outside of Mr. Hamilton’s Office

HighSchool collection box:  High School office.

Bring a new, unwrapped toy

Thank you for thinking of a child who won’t have anything for Christmas but because of your donation, a child will be Blessed and the Lord through you will be glorified.

Adoption and the Gospel

In response to the Adoption and the Gospel event on October 1st with Dr. Russell Moore and Hickory Grove Baptist Church, HGCS seeks to support families and children in need when it comes to adoption and foster care. Please take a moment watch this short video from Elizabeth and Adam Hamilton about how we can support foster care children in our area.

We are asking for everyone to bring in gently used or new duffel bags to be given to different foster care agencies. If students would like to add basic items such as hygiene items, fleece blankets, pjs, socks, diapers, and wipes, books, toys, or other children items to be placed in the bags, that would be an added bonus. Students can give the items to their homeroom teacher to be collected. No "boxy" suitcases please.

Please be in prayer for the 11,000+ children in North Carolina who are currently in foster care. 

Library Volunteers needed

Our school library needs your help.  If you or someone you know would like to volunteer to read to students and help them check out books, please contact our Librarian, Kathy Headrick at  704-531-4047 or  kathyheadrick@hgbc.org
