Hankey K-8’s Open House will be on Thursday, April 28. Families are invited to visit their child’s classrooms between 6:00pm – 7:00 pm. More details will be following as we get closer to the date.

Bring your family and friends on Friday, March 18 to the MPR for a free, fun event. Celebrity BINGO callers Aguilera, Aleman, Baker, Beitz, Mackie, Moothart, Peterson & Smith will shower those with the most school spirit with candy and call your BINGO numbers. Get ready to chicken dance with the Hankey Hawk. You must have a ticket to play (one ticket per family member.)  Your ticket is good for a one-hour BINGO session of your choice. Look for the BINGO table located in the front of school each morning from March 14 until all tickets are gone (tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis)  Bring a grocery gift card of any amount to donate to Hankey families in need and/or color and bring your BINGO notice to the event to receive additional raffle tickets towards bonus gift card prizes.

BINGO Session #1:  5:00-6:00 pm

BINGO Session #2:  6:15-7:15 pm

Hankey families- our PTSA is working hard to resume some of our in-person family events and traditions in a safe and FUN way, and we can’t wait to see you all there!

In the upcoming months we will be having a family STEAM night with lots of hands-on experiments, a Bingo night, and the Hankey Hop!  

One special part of these traditions is to offer prizes and hold raffles – sometimes as a fundraiser, and often just for fun! Here’s where we need your help. If you, your family or employer have the opportunity to donate any raffle items or have connections to local businesses that may be interested in offering a donation or discount, it would be greatly appreciated. (We are also working to build up our depleted supply of decorations, paper goods, etc.) Donations of all shapes and sizes are very welcome, and all donations to the Hankey PTSA are tax-deductible.
 

Please contact Erin Rudd at tripledog3@gmail.com or 602-909-4096 with any donation leads, information or questions.
