SUBJECT: SHMS HSA e-blast for 3.1.23, Coin Challenge, Yearbook Sale, Jazz Festival and much more!

March 1, 2023


Coin Challenge

The HSA is raising funds for 3 to 4 benches to be placed outside of the school, so students have a place to sit as they wait to be picked up. To do this, we are hosting a Coin Challenge from March 1 - March 30.

Empty 2-liter bottles will be placed in each connection’s classroom. Students can bring in loose change and place it in the bottles.  Each week the bottles will be collected, counted, and wrapped. The connection classroom that raises the most money per grade, will have a party of their choice, chosen by the connection’s classroom and teacher, paid for by the HSA. 

Good Luck to all!

Career Day 2023

On March 24, the HSA will be sponsoring Career Day. It's a day where our students will have the opportunity to listen to various professions of their choice. The students will learn about the professional's workplace, what their job entails, and what type of skills are needed in their career. There are 50 presenters from different occupations from business owners and entrepreneurs to technology, from teaching to engineering. 

As a way to thank them for their time, each presenter will be receiving a Career Day commemorative water bottle provided courtesy of the HSA. Please sign up to provide our 50 presenters with snacks and drinks: SignUp Genius 

Snacks and drinks may be dropped off until noon on Wednesday, March 22. Please direct any questions to Amy Brown at amy@redantelope.com
