Shopping Boss

What is ShoppingBoss and how does it work? ShoppingBoss is a members-only shopping program/app that works with national retailers and restaurants. You shop like you always have at participating merchants, and when it’s time to pay, instead of giving your credit card to the cashier (or food server), you use your smartphone to buy the merchant’s digital gift card through Shopping Boss. It’s delivered to you instantly, and you use that for the purchase, getting up to 9% cash back.

For a $20 donation, you will receive an average of 6% cash back at over 250 of the biggest National Brands. All the money you make is yours to keep just for supporting HGCS! Half of each ShoppingBoss sold goes right back to HGCS to support academics, fine arts and athletics. Our goal for this fundraiser is 100% participation from every student TK - 12th grade, with each student selling at least 2 ShoppingBoss codes.

Be on the lookout next week for the official launch of the ShoppingBoss program but for now, watch this quick video to learn more about this program and how you can support our school!

Week of August 14, 2017

Welcome Back;
We are excited to begin the 2017-2018 school year. If you haven't already reviewed the updated Hickory Grove Handbook please do so. They are several updates that you need to be aware of.

 Dropping off and Picking up students:
Students may not be dropped off before 7:20. If you need before school care, please contact Victoria Henderson at victoriahenderson@hgchristian.org. Also, students must be off campus by 3:00 unless they are supervised by a coach. Again, you may contact Victoria Henderson for after school care.
Performing Arts:          Auditions for the Fall Play 
August 17th at 3:00 pm we will hold auditions for the fall High School play on the basement stage. 

All students in high school you are eligible to audition. They do not have to be registered in the theater class.  Come prepared with a monologue no longer than a minute in length and at least 30 seconds in length.  If you need assistance with this or have any questions contact Mrs Robertson at abigailrobertson@hgchristian.org. 

The Fall Play will take place November 16th, 17th and 18th. Students will need to be able to commit to these dates as well as various rehearsal dates throughout September and October.  

We look forward to seeing all of the wonderful talent we have at Hickory Grove at these auditions.

Carpool Need:
Our two boys, Andrew in 10th and Connor Jones in 8th, are in need of carpooling.  For one or both.  To complicate things Andrew has football after school.  So we are looking for ride-sharing to school and for at least Connor to get home.  We are also looking at the football team to get Andrew home.  Any assistance would be great and we can work out arrangements to share, or pay, if necessary.  We are looking for a solution to keep Connor after school until Andrew finishes football if that will help.  This is for the Davis Lake area.
