Stuffed Animals

The HHS National Honor Society is sponsoring a stuffed animal drive in honor of their bravest and most inspiring hero, SPENCER MEYER! Spencer is a pre-kindergarten student in our building who is battling cancer. His parents are the Jason and Jodi Meyer–both teachers at Hudsonville High School.

The NEW stuffed animal drive will be going on throughout the month of January. Please shop the holiday sales, find a stuffed animal that needs to be hugged and loved by a child patient at DeVos Children’s Hospital, deliver the new stuffed animal to the front lobby of Georgetown, and deposit it in the box by the front office.

Thank you for your support of the HHS National Honor Society, DeVos Children’s Hospital, the 100’s of recovering children who need these stuffed animals and SPENCER MEYER…our Georgetown hero!

Halloween Party

Our Halloween party will be held from 2:00-3:00 this Friday, October 29.  Have your child BRING their costume, not wear it to school.  We will take time after lunch to get into our costumes in time for the afternoon party.

Also, this year our class will be doing service projects for soldiers that are serving overseas.

We ask that each student, if possible, donate a bag of candy that we will  sort and package for soldiers that are serving our country.  Donations can be sent in at anytime prior to next Friday’s party.

We also will be writing letters to the soldiers next week to include in the care packages.  Perhaps even a “Spooky” story or two might find their way overseas. 🙂
