Husky Happenings

Brought to you by the PTO!

Donuts with Loved Ones!

No better way to start the day than with some donuts, coffee, silly photos and hundreds of your best friends and neighbors! We love seeing our students enjoy treats and show off their campus to family - while parents finally get to learn "oh THAT's who you've been telling me stories about all year!" Thank you to the amazing Donuts with Loved Ones team for making this event such a favorite!

Boots & Buddies Dance!

Such a rootin' tootin' good time at the Boots & Buddies Son Dance! Pumpkin rolling, potato sack sliding, Photo Booth silliness- and of course - the dance off! Huskies line danced (and cartwheeled!) across the dance floor after filling their bellies on delicious food and visiting our sponsor friends ... just a perfect evening at Hicks!
We're grateful to the amazing Dance Committee for putting together such a howlin' good time!
