ShoppingBoss Fundraiser Starts Today!


HGCS Families! We are so excited to launch our 1st of two school wide fundraisers of the year today! Every student will receive information about the ShoppingBoss fundraiser as well as a letter from our Head of School, Dr. Quesinberry, about why this fundraiser is vitally important for HGCS. If by chance a letter did not make its way to you this afternoon, you can find it HERE . Our goal is for each student to sell at least two ShoppingBoss cards and because we know we have students who go above and beyond, a prize will be awarded to the top individual seller in each school as well as a pizza party for the grade who sells the most. Thank you for supporting HGCS!


These quick videos will help you learn more about this program and how you can support our school!
