We are excited to announce that our Annual Hickory Jog-a-thon fundraiser will take place on Friday, March 28th! Hosted by the PTA, this fun event encourages students to get involved in supporting our school and PTA programs. Our goal is to raise $52,000 to enhance school resources and provide the best possible educational experience for our students.
This year we are raising funds for study trip admission and buses, assemblies, teacher grants, community events, Adventures in Art, library funding, and so much more. If the Hickory community hits our $52,000 fundraising goal, the Hickory PTA will be treating the students to a popsicle recess!
