Please join us for a special PTA meeting where we will recognize deserving PTA Life Members and enjoy the sounds of the Hardy Oak Choir. See you at 6:00pm on Tuesday, December 4th!

Fall Festival was a fun family night!

The Fall Festival on November 9th was a fantastic night for all of our Hornet families. Thank you for your volunteering, coming out to enjoy the rides and games and participating in the auction. It was a chilly night, but the cool temps didn’t limit the fun!!

A big thank you to the teachers who flossed their hearts out in the Flossing Dance Contest and of course to Mrs. Folkes who was slimed along with PTA President Jenn Shannon by some Hardy Oak students. A great night indeed!

Slime Time
Flossing it!
Stinger is ready for Festival Fun!

Warm Heart & Full Belly Games Drive for Camelot Elementary

We are asking each child in Hardy Oak to participate in the December sister school collection. We will be collecting NEW games (card games & board games). One NEISD SVSA hour will be given for your donation, you can log your SVSA hours on Skyward. Our hope is that every child at Camelot be gifted a NEW game to be able to spend time with their family this holiday!
Collections begin Wednesday November 28th-Thursday December 13th


**We will be collecting NEW games (card & board games)
**Please send games in that are appropriate for your own child’s age
**The class that collects the most games will earn a pizza party
**Have your child give their game to his/her homeroom teacher
Thank you Hardy Oak, for your generosity and compassion in this season of giving!

Hornet’s Nest Spirit Store December 7th at lunches

The Hornet’s Nest Spirit Store will be open on the cafeteria stage during lunches on Friday, December 7th. The store will have pens, pencils, notebooks and other fun items. Small bills and coins are appreciated. Select spirit merchandise from previous years will be available at reduced SALE prices. All other items are $5 and under.

All students who bring money will be able to shop at the Hornet’s Nest toward the end of their lunch time. It is a fun way for kids to learn how to handle money and make smart purchases!
