MESSAGES TO MRS. D'ARGO
Dear Hughston Families,
As we reflect on what we are thankful for, I would like to invite you to send good news about your child’s learning, something that you love about Hughston and/or compliments for a Hughston Staff member. I would love to share these messages with everyone during our upcoming staff professional development. You can send these messages directly to my email at carrie.dargo@pisd.edu.
The Hughston staff is deeply dedicated to our students, and your words of encouragement always brighten our days. I will share any messages you’d like to forward to me with the staff. The positive feedback will mean so much to our team.
Thank you for being such great partners with us. You make all the difference for us and for our students.
Sincerely,
Carrie D’Argo, Principal
Dress the Turkey canned food drive
The Annual Hughston Canned Food drive is fast approaching! Monday, November 5th marks the first day of our "Dress the Turkey" canned food drive.
We will be doing something a little different this year! This year when a student brings in their cans, they get to decide which teacher they want their feather to go to. We will have 5 “teacher turkeys” to choose from. The turkey with the most feathers wins and that teacher has to wear the Gobbler Costume.
5 cans will still count towards one feather and 15 will count as the golden feather which is counted as 4 feathers. Each grade level will have a different color and the grade with the most feathers get a spirit stick.
HUGHSTON SCIENCE FAIR
It is time once again to prepare for the Science and Engineering Fair! Look out for an orange interest letter in your child’s Thursday folder this week. This a great opportunity for your child to investigate a topic that they have always wondered about and to show off their love for science. Participants will earn a spirit stick and get to participate in a pizza party celebration. All projects for the fair will be due on Wednesday, January 23, 2019. If you have any questions please contact Devon Ryan at Devon.Ryan@pisd.edu.
