Gold Jackets, a new SHS organization made up of Juniors and Seniors, is hosting a Holiday Parents Night Out in order to raise funds for future projects and activities.

What is Gold Jackets?

Gold Jackets is an organization of student leaders in grades 11 and 12 who serve as ambassadors for our campus and engage in leadership training opportunities. Dr. Graham, Mrs. Barraza, and Mrs. Weatherford are the sponsors for this organization and will all be supervising this event.

What is Holiday Parents Night Out?

Students in grades K-5 are eligible to attend the Holiday Parents Night Out from 5-8:30 pm on December 13th. The cost for one child is $25 dollars and each additional child within the same family would cost $15. Your child's reservation will include a pizza dinner (cheese or pepperoni) with one juice box and a sweet treat for dessert. We will begin the night gathered in the Auditorium where we will group students by grade and assign them a student leader. We will spend the night enjoying some holiday games/songs, eating pizza, and watching The Polar Express movie together. There may even be a surprise visit from Santa!

After you have registered by filling out this form, we will send you an email confirming that your reservation(s) is on hold until you have made your payment. Your spot will be held for 2 days, and if you have not paid in full after the 2 days have lapsed, we will notify you that your spot has been given to the next person in line.

If we do not have availability for your child, you will receive an email letting you know that you have been wait-listed. If availability opens up, we will email you to let you know that your spot is on hold.

Ingredients include whole wheat flour, 100% pure peanut butter, eggs, pure pumpkin, salt, cinnamon and water.

Your purchase provides job skills for people with different abilities.
