Teacher Appreciation Week

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 2-6, 2022! The PTO has some exciting plans for our Hixson Middle School Teachers. We need your help to pull it off! This year's Teacher Appreciation Week will be funded entirely by your donations.

Food Trucks--We have approximately 130 teachers and staff to feed. Please consider sponsoring a meal or two. You can make your contributions here!

Gift Card Raffle--Please donate gift cards. Please send gift cards to the office and Sarah Magruder will collect them. We will enter all of our teachers' names and draw names for each gift card we collect. Please sign up here!

Lottery tickets--Each year we give all our teachers and staff a lotto ticket. Last year a couple of our teachers even won some cash!

Stock the Teachers' Lounge! Please visit our Amazon Wish List to stock the Hixson Teacher and Staff Lounge!
