🎉 100th Day of School Celebration - Monday, February 10th
We are thrilled to celebrate being 100 days brighter and wiser! Students and staff are encouraged to dress like they’re 100 years old. We can't wait to see the creative outfits that capture the wisdom and fun of this milestone day!
💌 Valentine's Day Class Parties - Thursday, February 13th
Each classroom will host a small celebration at the end of the day. Students are invited to participate in a Valentine's card exchange with their classmates. Please check with your child’s teacher for any specific instructions.
💃 Family Valentine's Dance at Planet Ford Stadium
Get ready to dance the night away! This year, our annual Family Valentine's Dance will be off-campus at Planet Ford Stadium on Cypresswood Drive (23802 Cypresswood Dr, Spring, TX 77373). Tickets are available for purchase now and will also be sold at the door. Don’t miss this special evening of fun and family memories!

Congratulations to the boys and girls who qualified for the Big Kahuna Fundraiser Party Bus!
Last Thursday, students who sold 15 or more items during our fall fundraiser were picked up by the Big Kahuna Party Bus! After their joy ride, they were treated to snowcones at Liberty Park! Way to go, Hawks!
The district randomly selected the names of two students from each campus from the perfect attendance list, and surprised them with treats and gifts! We are so proud of your commitment to coming to school each and every day! Keep up the great work! Congratulations to:
- Sahrayah M. (5th grade)
- Jayden F. (3rd grade)
Attendance Matters!
Attendance is so important for student success. Hirsch Elementary is committed to encouraging students to come to school everyday. Each grade level is participating in weekly and monthly attendance contests to see who has the highest attendance. Classes and grade levels with the highest attendance will get a reward! Everyday attendance equals everyday success. Thank you for partnering with us for your child's success.
