Hoover Coat Drive 11/18-12/2
One of our 3rd grade Hoover Rockets, Abby M is organizing a coat drive here at Hoover.  If you would like to donate any gently used or new winter coats there will be a box in the lobby.  Abby will be taking the coats to the Clothing Depot at Franklin.  This is a program that provides coats and clothing for LPS families.  Take a few minutes this weekend to clean out those coat closets and donate!  They are in need of children's coats and men's gloves.  Thanks for your support!
 
Did you know that our own Hoover Rockets have artwork on display at the School Board Office this month?  The artwork is hanging in the basement outside of the Board Room.  You can visit during business hours to see the amazing artwork.

The Holiday Shop is scheduled for Tuesday, December 10th, Wednesday, December 11th and Thursday, December 12th. Each class will have 25-30 minutes to shop for gifts in the community room. This year the Hoover PTA will be using The Penguin Patch for our holiday shop. Penguin Patch gifts are priced from as little as $0.25 and up to $12.00. Please plan and budget with your child using the Penguin Patch envelope that will be sent home early in December. A class shopping schedule will be sent at this time as well. Send the completed envelope to school with your child on his/her scheduled shopping day.

We will be accepting donations for the Hoover Helping Hearts fund during the holiday shop this year. The Helping Hearts fund is used to support Hoover families in a time of need. Please place Helping Heart donations in a separate envelope marked Helping Hearts.

The Holiday Shop would not be possible without the help of volunteers! Please use the link below to sign up using the signup genius today!
