Precious Cargo - Adoption and the Gospel Follow Up:
In response to the Adoption and the Gospel event on October 1st with Dr. Russell Moore and Hickory Grove Baptist Church, HGCS seeks to support families and children in need when it comes to adoption and foster care. Please take a moment watch this short video from Elizabeth and Adam Hamilton about how we can support foster care children in our area.
We are asking for everyone to bring in gently used or new duffel bags to be given to different foster care agencies. If students would like to add basic items such as hygiene items, fleece blankets, pjs, socks, diapers, and wipes, books, toys, or other children items to be placed in the bags, that would be an added bonus. Students can give the items to their homeroom teacher to be collected. No "boxy" suitcases please.
Please be in prayer for the 11,000+ children in North Carolina who are currently in foster care.
PSAT/SAT Testing
On October 25, Hickory Grove will administer the PSAT/ACT test to all 8th-11th graders. Students will be dismissed at 12:00. They will need to be off campus by 12:15. Seniors do not have to come to school.
Students with 0 Demerits
About 75% of our High school students finished the quarter with 0 demerits or had merits to offset their demerits which left them with 0 demerits. For their reward,, they will be allowed to wear a non-collared shirt tomorrow and Wednesday. To see if your child's name is on the list click here. We are not making the non collared shirts only Hickory Grove, but we are asking that the shirts worn are appropriate.

The AAA Booster Club would like to thank everyone who participated in the ShoppingBoss Fundraiser last month! Congratulations to the 3rd grade who was the top selling grade for the entire school and earned a pizza party! 3rd grader, Tristan Nelson, was our top individual seller for Elementary School. 6th grader, Anna Li Quesinberry, was our top individual seller for Middle School, and 9th grader, Jordon Nelson, was our top individual seller for High School. Each received an exclusive duffle bag from Under Armour!
As the first of only two school wide fundraisers this year, the goal was for each student to sell just 2 ShoppingBoss cards for a total of 1400 cards school wide. With 445 cards sold, the ShoppingBoss fundraiser has been extended until 10/20 in hopes that we will reach our goal. In exchange for a $20 donation to HGCS, you will receive a ShoppingBoss card which will give you cash back on your purchases at over 250 participating stores. For more details about the fundraiser, instructions, and order form, please visit http://bit.ly/hgshoppingboss. The AAA Booster Club thanks you in advance for your support!
