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 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)

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.
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.
Cafeteria Closed
December 12 &
14 the cafeteria will be closed. Send a bagged lunch including drink, all
utensils, napkins, etc with your student.
Students will be eating in classrooms, and will not have access to microwaves.
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
Student Security
Student Security is important
at HGCS. Therefore, carline tags should
be displayed in vehicles for student pick-up in the afternoon. This applies to Main Campus carline, or North
Campus bus carline pick-up. If you need
additional carline tags, please contact the Elementary Office. Additional carline tags are available for
parent pick-up.
Student Absences
If your student is absent for any reason, please email the
teacher and the Elementary Office, NancyMcDowell@HGChristian.org. Remember to follow the CDC Guidelines when
your student is not feeling well.
Students should be free of the following for 24 hours before returning
to school: fever of 100 degrees or more, vomiting or diarrhea. For attendance records to be accurate, please
email the Elementary Office each day your student is not in class.
Moved? New phone number?
New email address? Email
any changes to nancymcdowell@hgchristian.org. It’s important your information is current
for your student.
Lost and Found:
Missing a
lunchbox, Bible, sweater, jacket or book?
The lost and found is located at the Welcome Desk in the Education
Center Lobby. Please check for items
promptly. Unclaimed items will be
donated to the less fortunate.
