Kindergarten Round Up

On Tuesday, March 8^th at 6:00 p.m., Hohokam Traditional School will host prospective parents during our annual Kindergarten Round Up. This is a great opportunity for parents to learn about Hohokam and a typical day in Kindergarten.

If you know of parents who might be interested in attending, please pass along this information. We would like to continue to build a strong community and increased enrollment will help provide more opportunities for our school.

Thank you!

Super Size Hohokam

Hopefully, you were able to attend McTeacher Night on Tuesday at McDonald’s. I believe it was a great event for our school and community. We had over 20 staff volunteers and hundreds of parents and students come to support Hohokam. The restaurant was full throughout the evening and it was great to see families interacting with one another. A strong and positive community can do great things together.

It is not official, but we believe that approximately $1000 was raised for our school. That is pretty good for three hours! Thank you for your support of our school and don’t forget that the Hohokam Carnival is on Saturday, February 26^th. We will need your partnership to make this a successful event as well. Go Falcons!

Busy Time of Year!

It is a busy time of year at Hohokam Traditional School. Last week we held our annual Book Fair and we would like to thank Donna Brlobas and all of the families who volunteered their time throughout the week. Tonight we have McTeacher Night at the McDonalds on Scottsdale Rd and Thomas. Many staff members will be serving food and a portion of all proceeds will go to our school! Please join us this evening at McDonald’s.

Parent/Teacher Conferences have begun and will continue through next week. If for some reason you have not been in contact with your child’s teacher, please call the school to make an appointment.

In addition, we are currently, in the midst of our 2^nd PTA fundraiser. Students attended an assembly last week to get things kicked off. The fundraiser runs through Wednesday, February 16^th. In celebration of the students’ effort, we will have a BMX assembly on March 2^nd. We held the same event last year and it was a hit!

Are you curious how the money raised will be spent? The PTA plans to use much of the proceeds from this year’s fundraisers for Student Response Systems. This 21^st Century technology will provide each student with a remote control that they can use to answer questions by the teacher. The data is automatically entered into the computer and teachers can use this information to direct their teaching. It is great for student engagement! We currently have three pilot classrooms and the students and teachers love the new technology!

Looking ahead, we have our PTA Carnival that will take place on Saturday, February 26^th from 11:00 – 2:30. Volunteers are always needed to make this event a success. Please be looking for a volunteer flyer that will be sent home with every child next week.
