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 17th 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
1st Grade – Mrs. Jane Tart (Purchasing)
2nd, 3rd,
4th, and 5th Grades – Mr. Jim Bob (Print Shop)
Re-enrollment for
Current HGCS Parents
The 2018-2019 Re-enrollment
instructions for current students will be added to the Renweb announcement page
on November 1 and will run through January 31, 2018. If
you have any questions, regarding re-enrollment, please contact the admissions
office at 704-531-3589.
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.
Elementary Thanksgiving Banquet
Elementary students
will enjoy our Annual Thanksgiving Banquet on Tuesday Morning, November 21,
beginning at 10:30am. The menu for the

Gravy, Corn Bread Dressing, Sweet Potato Casserole, Mac-N-Cheese, Green Beans,
