HONOR A VETERAN
As you are trying to find that perfect gift for your favorite veteran, here is an opportunity to support a veteran by purchasing a brick paver and having it permanently placed in the Buckhorn H.S. Veterans Memorial.
Buying a brick is the one gift that truly keeps on giving. This is a permanent way to honor our veterans and their sacrifices to this country. These memorial bricks are located at the front of the school, as a permanent reminder of those veterans who served our great nation. There is no better way to honor your veteran, or service member than by purchasing a brick for them!

on the field, in the classroom and in our community.
From August to April, a panel of judges selects one Athlete of the Week. Applicants must be a high school senior, have a minimum GPA of 3.5 and display a history of athletic and academic accomplishments, as well as community/civic involvement.
At the end of the school year, all weekly winners are invited to a banquet held in their honor.
Two students are selected as Athletes of the Year and will each receive a $1,000 scholarship.

Sign Up to Round Up!
The Round Up Program was started by The Schools Foundation and Huntsville Utilities to support local public school systems. The Schools Foundation is a funding partner of Madison County Schools. The more residential and commercial locations that round up, the more funding we can receive. Estimates show that if just half of the residential Huntsville Utilities users rounded up, it would generate approximately $500,000 to support our schools! By rounding up your utility bill to the nearest dollar each month, you help invest in the future of our students!
You can easily sign up to round up online:
http://www.hsvutil.org/myhsvu…/checkbill/roundup/signup.html
It might be a penny, it might be 25 cents, it might be 99 cents, but it will be no more than $11.88 a year. It takes less than 1 minute to fill out.
Thank you for supporting one of our community partners! Go Bucks!
