Hello Buckhorn Family! It is the time of year where the Buckhorn Historical Society begins asking for sponsors for our Santa's Helpers program for the 2021-22 school year. Last year thanks to your generous support we were able to provide Christmas gifts to approximately 40 students and we would love to be able to hit that number or beyond this year. We hope to have all sponsors signed up and accounted for by Friday, November 12 so that we can get information out before the Thanksgiving holidays. Attached below is the information to sign up and help with our program this year.
Please go to this link: https://forms.gle/QEGD3P2B8x6kBHxk9 if you would like to sign up and help provide Christmas gifts to deserving students this year. Thank you so much for helping us continue this great tradition at Buckhorn High School!

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!
