See everyone at Texas Roadhouse!!

🐝 DINE WITH THE HIVE IS JUST 2 SHORT DAYS AWAY!

Mark your calendars, Highland families! Our next Dine with the Hive is happening this Wednesday, October 21st at Texas Roadhouse, and includes both dine-in and carry-out options!

Ready for a night off from cooking while giving back to our Highland Hornets? We’ve got the perfect excuse to let someone else handle dinner! 🤎

📣 IMPORTANT REMINDER: Families MUST present a flyer when ordering or picking up their food for Highland PTO to receive credit for this giveback night!

📬 Flyers were copied and placed in teachers’ mailboxes today, so be sure to check your child’s folder this afternoon or tomorrow to have yours ready for Wednesday!

Gather your family, invite a friend, and come Dine with the Hive! Every meal helps us continue supporting our students, teachers, and school community.

We hope to see you there!

SURPRISE, HORNETS! 🎉

Our spirit wear arrived earlier than expected and was delivered to students TODAY! 🙌 Be sure to check those backpacks when your kiddos get home for their new sweatshirts and grade-level shirts!

Nothing better than having your Highland Hornet sweatshirt ready for those cooler days over Fall Break! 🍂

From all of us at Highland PTO, we wish our Hornet families a wonderful, relaxing, and FUN Fall Break! 💙

We can’t wait to see everyone back at our next General PTO Meeting on Tuesday, October 20th at 6PM, followed by our next Volunteer Workshop on Friday, November 13th!

Enjoy your break, Hornets! 🐝

🎭📚 Wordplay Parade! 📚🎭

Our 5th graders brought figurative language to life with their very own Wordplay Parade! 🐝✨

Students created creative costumes and colorful posters to represent what they’ve been learning, then paraded through the hallways sharing their knowledge with the rest of the Highland Hive! 🎉📖

Happy Friday, Highland Families! 💙💛🐝
We are SO close to Fall Break ...only FOUR more school days! 🙌 Just a reminder that school will not be in session October 9–16.

This upcoming week will be full of learning, growing, engaging our students, and building some pretty amazing life skills that our kiddos will carry with them as they grow into the incredible adults we know they will become!

We can’t wait to see everyone back at the HIVE on Monday! Have a GREAT weekend, Highland families! 💙💛🐝
