This Week at Hicks

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's life and legacy.
Looking for ways to talk to your kids about Dr. King? Check out resources from the King Center! 

TODAY (MONDAY): 

  • It's our RESTAURANT NIGHT at EverSpring Modern Chinese in the Marketplace (3 - 8 PM). Just show this flier when you order and the PTO will receive 30%! 

Saturday:

  • Tournament of Champions: Winter Bowl! Good luck to our amazing Husky Flag Football Teams! (Stay tuned for game times once we have them!)

  • It's the deadline to book a BIRTHDAY MARQUEE Greeting for February birthdays! Learn more and book yours today!

Also...

It's the last week to register for the TPSF Pickleball Tournament (as a player or spectator!) - coming up on February 1! Rumor has it that a few HCE teachers will be playing - game on! 


As always - check out the Happenings for a preview of what else is to come this month!
