Holiday Luncheon

It's that time of year for the Holiday Buffet! For those of us that are new to Hixson, each December we have a holiday buffet in the library. People sign up to bring dishes, drinks, etc. (here is the sign up sheet) and people come down to enjoy a nice breakfast, lunch, snacks, etc. with coworkers that maybe you don't normally get to see. There is plenty of space to enjoy your meal in the library. We will have attendance PRIZES and our holiday sweater CONTEST (back by popular demand). We will provide cards to fill out information about your dish to keep people informed of allergens and the like. All are welcome to the table. Students will still be able to come down on pass to check out and return, but no classes will be taking place in the library on Tuesday to ensure a more private atmosphere for our staff.

Call for Summer School Teachers!

If you are interested in teaching summer school (SSD & Gen Ed) or working as support staff for summer school (Instructional Aide, Administrative Assistant), please email Tracy Lee and Amirah Garwood. Be sure to let them know what you would like to teach. Based on the timeline below, we need to have all staff finalized and in place by [date]. If you are on the fence at all about working summer school, then please do not submit your name until you know for sure. We really need to avoid having to close classes due to lack of staffing as much as possible. The chances of hiring a summer school teacher late in the year to cover an abandoned class are slim to none.
