Parent/Guardians Date Night!
On Tuesday, February 18th from 6:00-8:30 PM, HBR's National Honor Society will be hosting a "Parent/Guardian Date Night" event. The idea is for parents/guardians to drop their kids (12 years old or under) off at the high school for a night of games & activities, so parents/guardians can go on a date and celebrate Valentine's Day a few days late together. The cost is $10 cash at the door, and $5 for each additional child. Parents can sign their kid(s) up HERE (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdvvoL1jzUyfnwDFpXm4DfeTRwo6HTYwkbp8XBXNmNYDlwytA/viewform).
The Good Times Grill in Hinckley would like to sweeten the NHS Date Night by offering a 15% discount off orders on 2/18 (dine in or carry out) if they drop their kiddos off at HBRHS!
We love our PTO! Thank you for ALL that you do!! Please check out the February Newsletter to learn more.
