For Students,
Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and Student Council has a wonderful opportunity for you to do something for that special someone -- purchase a candy gram. Candy grams will be sold February 3rd - 6th. Students may purchase candy grams for $1.00 during their lunch hours. Your valentine will receive a full-size candy bar and special handwritten message from you on Thursday, February 14th. Happy Valentine's Day!!
For Parents,
We have lots of parents ask about whether or not they can purchase candy grams for their own children, their children's friends, teachers, etc. . . . the answer is yes you can. If you would like to purchase a candy gram, please fill-out this form -- https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf2-Y5QGvqz5MXESnl2tlLr8cdml5H8UkRiIqWANrRj2GGPQw/viewform. Please have your student turn in the money for candy grams in an envelope to the office. They will need to give it to either Debbie Holcmann or Kateri Odle by Friday, February 7th. Please make sure you put on the outside or inside of the envelope who the candy gram is for or who is giving it. Each candy gram is $1 for a full size candy bar.
If you have any questions, please contact me at dhubbard@highlandcusd5.org.

Dawn Hubbard and Mecala Scholl
