Welcome to the 2018-2019 School Year
Welcome back returning students and welcome to our new students!! This year is sure to be a great one because of the wonderful families, teachers, staff and PTA members that Horizon has. The school is going to be different as it is the first year without 6th grade students. Our precious 5th graders from last year have moved on to Middle School. Many teachers will have new classrooms, but we know they will make their new rooms feel inviting and comfortable. A positive learning environment is key. Some teachers will no longer be around because they have also moved to Middle School or onto other endeavors. We wish them luck and will miss them!
As always, the PTA's mission is to advocate for the children of Horizon. Additionally, it is our responsibility to empower the families so they can advocate for their children and community. We will do this by keeping you informed about the goings on with our school and with the Madison City PTA. This website is a fountain of information and we improve upon it daily. If there is something you would like to see, please contact Rebecca Colon Franz at becca_ren2000@yahoo.com.
Of course the PTA can only do so much, which is why we rely on our Volunteers to help us and our teachers. We need you! Volunteering is always strongly encouraged and welcomed by all in Horizon. Please click HERE to find out more. Another way PTA keeps families involved and informed is through our General Meetings. The meetings take place on the second Monday of each month at 6pm (except for August and January). We are discussing alternative times for our meetings so that everyone gets to attend. More information about that is soon to come! We thank you for your continued involvement and support and are always open to questions, suggestions and comments. Please submit those here: hrzn.pta@gmail.com

St. Jude Children's Hospital Fundraiser
Maria Jones is running on behalf of myself and Horizon Elementary as a Hero in the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend. Heroes are runners who fundraise while they train for their race, and I'm proud to be a part of this nationwide alliance against childhood cancer.
I want to help make sure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food — because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
Your donation, no matter what the size, will help! Will you help us reach "OUR" fundraising goal?
Please visit my fundraising page to show your support. Thank you for helping the kids of St. Jude!
Sincerely,
Rodney Richardson
