Show Your School Spirit
Yearbook Cover Contest
HRE Yearbook Cover Contest Rules
This year’s yearbook theme is “Super Heroes Learn Here.” Have your child be creative and use his/her imagination by using a cover that captures the essence of HRE with a Super Hero twist. Show through drawings what Hoosier Road is all about. Remember, this is your child's project and we are looking forward to seeing their artwork! Just remember it needs to be school appropriate.
- Your child's work must be on the “official” cover page provided. Please click here to download the template. If you don't have access to a printer, students can stop by the office to get a cover page template.
- Have your child use only colored pencils and crayons. No markers or digital artwork.
- Every artist needs to sign their work! Be sure your child puts his/her name in the bottom right hand corner in the “star.”
- School name, year, and theme are already included on the template and not needed. Any additional wording must be legible. Please have your child take their time and do their best work when they write.
- All entries MUST be turned in NO LATER THAN Friday morning, December 1st. No exceptions.
- Please be sure your child follows the rules (listed above). Those not following the directions will not be considered.
- We will have one winner – for the front cover! The winner will be announced by the end of the week (no later than Friday, December 10th).
HRE Gives Back Holiday Food Drive
We are proud to implement a program for HRE students that we hope will highlight the joy of giving. It may come as a surprise that there are many families in Fishers who are struggling to put food on the table. Winter break is especially hard when children are not in school where they are assured of having one meal each day. We would like to ease that stress by providing boxes with two weeks’ worth of easy meals and snacks for as many children as we can in Fishers. Each class will put together one box. We have an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children; both those who give and those who will receive. We hope this will give you an opportunity to talk with your children about gratitude and the joy of giving to those in need. Donations are being accepted Monday, December 4th through Wednesday, December 13th.
Hoosier Road Elementary has set a goal to fill 150 boxes. One box per classroom will equal 32 boxes. Requests will be coming home with the hope that each student will contribute the item "assigned" so that the class as a whole is able to join together to make up an entire box.
Each box will contain:
20 microwave meals (Soup-at-Hand, Hormel Dinners, Easy Mac, etc.)
16 individual breakfast meals (Pop Tarts, individual cereals, instant oatmeal, breakfast bars)
Individual fruit cups (either a 6 or 8 pack or 2- 4 packs)
1 box of granola bars
1 box of fruit snacks
16-20 100% juice boxes
6-8 packages of cheese or peanut butter crackers
6-8 small bags of chips, pretzels or crackers
6 pack of pudding cups or other dessert
In order to meet our goal of 150 boxes we need your help. If your family or your workplace would like to make an impact and fill an entire box on your own, please stop by the HRE office to pick up a box and a shopping list. Please have individual boxes completed and returned to HRE by December 13th.
If you can’t fill a whole box but are interested in donating additional items, please choose from the list below. We will combine your donation with others who would like to offer their help to fill additional boxes. Thank you so much for your generosity and compassion.
If you know of a family who would benefit from this initiative or if your family is in need, please contact our school counselor at (317) 915-4240. Your request will be handled in a confidential manner.
