Veterans Day Program
Due to space limitations, we are asking that only one parent per participating student attend; sorry, no siblings. However, if a parent would like to bring a veteran or someone currently serving in our armed forces as a special guest, they are welcome and encouraged to do so.
To speed up the entrance process and help with seating, there will be two lines located at the gym door (exit 10) -- one for parents with veterans and one for parents only. This is considered a public event so no background checks will be required.
Prizm Video Productions will be professionally filming our program and will offer DVDs for sale at $20 per copy. Please CLICK HERE for an order form.
Our first through fourth graders are very excited to celebrate Veterans Day through singing, reading and honoring those who have served our country so that we may enjoy all of our freedoms.
Prop Design Volunteers Needed
Our music teacher is working hard to get ready for her upcoming music programs and she needs your help! Mrs. Ross is hoping to find a few volunteers to help make props for the 2nd grade music program. If you are interested please contact Mrs. Ross at rross@hse.k12.in.us.
Wild West Book Fair
Howdy Cowboys and Cowgirls! The Fall 2017 Book Fair is coming November 13th - 17th. All students will have a chance to visit the book fair during book fair week with their classes.
We need to wrangle up a few more volunteers to help all our buckaroos make their way through the stampede to find lots of great new books! If you would like to become a ranch hand, please sign up to volunteer at:

HRE PTO Needs Your Help!
The HRE PTO has started preparations for the annual Pancake Breakfast, Our Pancake Breakfast has been scheduled for Saturday, December 9th. For more than 5 years, our PTO has been very fortunate to receive the pre-made pancake batter from Bob Evans. Unfortunately, due to a change in management, they will not be able to help us this year. If you or someone you know, has a business that might be interested in donating the batter, please contact Brittany Schmuck at brittany.schmuck@yahoo.com.
Body Safety with Chaucie's Place
Hoosier Road Elementary is partnering again this year with Chaucie’s Place, a child advocacy organization in Hamilton County, to bring Smart Steps™: A Body Safety Program for Children to our Kindergarten, 2nd and 4th grade students. Smart Steps™ is a child sexual abuse prevention and education program that empowers your child to say “NO!” to unwanted touches from anyone who makes them feel uncomfortable.
Hoosier Road's Body Safety student program will be held on November 6th, 2017. If you have questions or concerns about this program, please contact the school's counselor.
