PSA Silent Auction
About the Event The PSA’s annual Silent Auction is coming up on Friday, April 6th, 2018. It will be held here at Meadowbrook from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. In addition to the auction, we will also have ice cream from Zesty’s for you to enjoy as you bid, dancing and movies for the kids to enjoy, and raffles aimed at both students and parents alike! This event is a significant source of funds for the PSA which helps to cover the cost of the library renovation project, various online subscriptions to help personalize student learning, contributes toward the cost of bussing for field trips, hosting of the end of year carnival, and much, much more. We hope you will be able to join us. Classroom Themed Baskets Each class is also collecting donation toward a “themed” basket that will be auctioned off at the event. Donations toward each classroom's basket can be brought in directly to your child's teacher. Please be sure that all donations are sent in to school by Friday, March 23rd so that we have time to assemble the baskets. For a list of each classroom’s chosen theme, please visit: https://goo.gl/af6rzu How You Can Help Not only would we like to see you there, but anything that you can contribute to be auctioned off would be a huge help! Perhaps you or someone you know is a small business owner or a direct sales consultant (i.e. Pampered Chef, Mary Kay, LuLaRoe) and can provide an item from your inventory or service such as a massage or photography session. Some of you may be very gifted artistically and could donate your time or talents. Lastly, if you have any special connections and could help secure a special experience for the students such as a ride to school on a fire truck, please let us know. You can reach out to us at: [email protected] Referendum Update
The Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution on an operational referendum for the April 3, 2018 spring election ballot. This referendum differs from the April, 2017 referendum, in large part, because of the duration. The Board listened to the community through surveys and the Community Task Force Committee. The feedback was clear that the recurring nature of the April, 2017 referendum was not acceptable. The 5 year duration on the current referendum allows the district to address the immediate needs of class size, compensation, and facilities maintenance. As the Board works to address its financial challenges, we are committed to providing as much information as possible. For more information about the referendum, please visit www.hssd.k12.wi.us/referendum. If you have any questions for the Board of Education, please reach out to your board member listed in this article. ********************************************************************** HSSD Board of Education Announces Referendum Plans for April 3, 2018 Election
