We have officially begun our Chocolate sales campaign. This year, we are fundraising for computers in the classrooms, for the digital school sign and all the field trips for rest of the semester. It is our goal at HSA-Laredo to have computers in all of our classrooms. These computers will be used for accelerated reader, research, technology, etc. It is our goal for each student to commit themselves to selling 2 boxes (50 bars per box-2 box per family). We will give the chocolates to the students with the signature of parents or students and they will be responsible for turning in the money to the front office. Parents can get as many boxes as they want if they pay the amount when they get the chocolates. There is no restriction for getting many chocolates. The deadline to turn in all the money is April 5, Monday. We need a lot of parent support to reach our goal. This fundraising is also a contest. HSA is having a school wide contest. Listed below are the categories and prizes.
Grand Prize- $100.00 Gift Card 2nd Place Seller-$50 Gift Card 3rd Place Seller-$40 Gift Card
The homeroom which sells the most boxes will get a free lock-in at the school (free pizza, soda, movie and lots of fun)

The Texas Education Agency has developed TAKS Study Guides to help students strengthen the TEKS-based skills that are taught in class and tested on TAKS. The Guides are designed for students to use on their own or for students and families to work through together. Concepts are presented in a variety of ways that will help students review the information and skills they need to be successful on the TAKS.
Harmony Science Academy has arranged a business breakfast for the business people in Laredo. The purpose of the breakfast is to establish a partnership with the Laredo community. This partnership will address the skills that our students need to be successful after graduation. These skills will be the basis for our new high school graduation requirements. Thus, Harmony Science Academy - Laredo is opening its door to the businesses in the area by sending our students to the establishments. We would like for them to serve as a volunteer in the Laredo community. This will certainly provide an opportunity for our students to gain experience before they join the workforce. If you have a business or member of an organization, you can come to the breakfast on March 10, 8:30 am at Harmony Science Academy-Laredo.
Please confirm your participation via email at azorba@harmonytx.org or by phone at 956-712-1177 on or before Friday, March 5, 2010 to let us know if you will attend.
