School Survey
We have designed a survey in order to gain your opinions on how well your child’s school has met your family's and child's needs and how you feel about your involvement at the school. There are no right or wrong answers.
Your answers will be kept private. Your answers will be combined with those of other parents in a report of the survey findings.
Your input is very important. Findings of the survey will be summarized and used to improve the school’s efforts in strengthening the partnership between parents and schools.
For each item, please select the choice that most closely matches your answer. There are also several places to provide written comments.
The survey will be open January 13-18. Thank you in advance for your participation.

Charity Basketball Game

To Whom It May Concern:
The Athletic Program, Staff, and Faculty at Hewitt-Trussville Middle School are proud to announce the arrival of our Twelfth Annual Charity Basketball Game. The event is a school wide activity that includes all of our basketball teams, cheerleaders, dance team, and athletes from other sports, as well as our band, choir and ambassadors.
This year’s charity is Open Hands Overflowing Hearts (OHOH) of Alabama. This is a student organization that raises money for pediatric cancer research. It was started by a student from Spain Park High School, Kayla Perry, who got diagnosed with neuroblastoma two years ago. Neuroblastoma is a rare bone cancer that is usually only found in children 3 years old or younger.
The past games have benefited many worthy charities; in total, our students have raised over $63,700 for these organizations.
We are very excited about our students’ desire to help others. We are asking that our students find at least one business/person to sponsor the game this year. Donation levels are available in two tiers: Mushers $50.00 and Lead Dogs $100.00. Naturally, we will take larger donations! Students who find a sponsor will receive a free t-shirt. We have sold as many as 500 of these shirts in the past, so get your business name out there! All donations are tax deductible and will be receipted by the school. Please make checks out to HTMS.
The deadline for turning in your sponsors is January 25, 2017. You must turn in the exact spelling of the sponsor’s name. You also need to include the student’s name that received the donation, student’s homeroom teacher, and the student’s t-shirt size (adult sizes only). Students that find a sponsor receive a free t-shirt.
T-Shirts may also be purchased for $10.00; order deadline is January 25, 2017. The shirt is your pass to the game!
Admission to game without a shirt: $5.00
The game will be held at 6:30 P.M. on Tuesday, February 7, 2017 in our gymnasium.

GO HUSKIES!

KNOWLEDGE: discovering something new so you can be better at what you do!
