DATES OF INTEREST FOR THE 2009-2010 SCHOOL YEAR

HUGHES OPEN HOUSE
Weds, Sep 2, 3:30-5:30pm
Rising 7th graders and other students who will be new to Hughes next year are strongly encouraged to attend the Hughes Open House for a chance to walk through the school, try out lockers, learn more about after school activities, PTA and more.

SLHS: PARENT VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION
Weds, Sep 2, 7pm
All new SLHS parents are invited to come to an information session, followed by some Q&A time, on parent volunteer opportunities at South Lakes. Volunteering gives you more exposure to your high schooler’s environment, opens up new ways to plug into the parent network, and helps out the student body and the administration. There are parent Booster groups for athletics, academics and the performing arts. Opportunities range from just a couple of hours to a higher level of commitment. Don’t have time, but still want to contribute? Fundraising donations are a perfect alternative. Come learn more on September 2cd at 7:00 in the Lecture Hall at SLHS. Questions? Email Kim Shoop at kjshoop@aol.com.
