What is Labor Day?
“Labor Day is a federal holiday in the United States celebrating the achievements of American workers. It is observed annually on the first Monday in September with parades, parties and sports activities. It is also known as the “workingmen’s holiday.” For young Americans, it signifies the end of summer.”
Field Trip Shirts
Every year, the Hooker Oak PTO provides each student (and staff) with a field trip t-shirt to wear when they are out in the community. Even more exciting, this year these shirts will celebrate and showcase 75 years of Hooker Oak!
Any Hooker Oak family who donates has the option for their name to be printed on the t-shirts. Or, if you own or manage a business, you can as well! The attached letter provides additional information including Hooker Oak PTO tax ID number for businesses wanting to sponsor. Lastly, as a way to incentivize parents to turn in the required paperwork early to assist with field trips, the PTO plans to order t-shirts for parent volunteers. Any required paperwork turned in and completed no later than Friday, September 18th will qualify for a t-shirt.
Three ways you can sponsor our student t-shirts and be part of the 75th anniversary celebration!
-$300 donation includes business name and logo
-$100 donation includes business name
-$50 donation includes family name
*Checks can be made payable to Hooker Oak PTO or paid electronically via PayPal to hookeroakpto@gmail.com*
High quality logos can be submitted to hookeroakpto@gmail.com
Supporting Youth Mental Health
Youth mental health is a topic of utmost importance, and we believe that by working together, we can create a supportive environment where our children can thrive.
Care Solace offers mental health care coordination services and can help connect you and your child with appropriate community-based providers. Whether it's counseling, therapy, or other mental health services, Care Solace can assist you in finding the support your family may need.
To access Care Solace's coordination services, simply reach out using the following options:
Call 888-515-0595: Their multilingual helpline is staffed 24/7/365.
Visit www.caresolace.com/chicofamilies: On their website, you can explore mental health providers independently or click "Book Appointment" for personalized assistance through video chat, email, or phone.
By joining hands and working together as a community, we can provide a nurturing and inclusive environment that supports the mental health and well-being of our youth. Let's continue to prioritize their emotional growth, and together, we can create a brighter future for our children.
Thank you for being caring and involved parents and guardians in the Chico Unified School District. Your dedication to supporting our youth is truly commendable.
Calling all Hooker Oak Alumni!
Hooker Oak is celebrating 75 years with a diamond jubilee celebration. Our theme for the year is Shining Bright Throughout the Year. We will be taking a trip down memory lane as we revisit all of the decades of Hooker Oak's history. The most important part of our history is our students! We want to hear from as many former students as we can. We plan to highlight our amazing alumni throughout the year, as well as look for ways to connect alumni to our current students. We also have a few exciting plans up our sleeves that involve our alumni, so be sure to follow us on our social media pages so that you are in the loop!
