PTO MEETINGS - COME ONE, COME ALL!

    FIRST PLACE       GOES TO...

  Tom Jeffries! He and his Chili Wife, Louisa, served up a delicious stew to take home the crown. Congratulations to our new "Chili King"!  2nd place went to Amy Milam for her amazing chicken chili, and 3rd place was awarded to Susan Sutton. 

 

2nd ANNUAL EVENT  A SPICY SUCCESS!

Ten competitors submitted their favorite batches of chili for our teachers to taste and judge. Congratulations to all of our winners and thank you to all of our competitors and volunteers for making this year another great event!

 

HHS WAS A WINNER, TOO...

Proceeds from the entry fees paid by the competitors will be used to fund a grant for a worthy HHS organization that will be selected later this school year.  Mr. Jeffries generously donated his cash winnings back to be used for the grant.


PROUD. 

 

NOT SURE WHAT TO GET YOUR HARD-TO-BUY-FOR TEEN FOR THE HOLIDAYS?

No worries! Patriot gear to the rescue. Buy them something they won't want to return. The Spirit Gear Website  has lots to choose from, and 100% of the proceeds goes back into PTO funds to support our school!

 

SO MANY FANNY PACKS...

 

 You know you want one.  50% off...$5 each.  If someone buys one we'll stop running this ad. Pinky Promise.
