Shopping Boss

shopping boss.pngHGCS hosts two major fundraisers each year to support our growth in the areas of academics (technology), fine arts and athletics from TK all the way to 12th grade. We are excited to introduce a new opportunity this fall called ShoppingBoss!

What is ShoppingBoss and how does it work? ShoppingBoss is a members-only shopping program/app that works with national retailers and restaurants. You shop like you always have at participating merchants, and when it’s time to pay, instead of giving your credit card to the cashier (or food server), you use your smartphone to buy the merchant’s digital gift card through Shopping Boss. It’s delivered to you instantly, and you use that for the purchase, getting up to 9% cash back.

For a $20 donation, you will receive an average of 6% cash back at over 250 of the biggest National Brands. All the money you make is yours to keep just for supporting HGCS! Half of each ShoppingBoss sold goes right back to HGCS to support academics, fine arts and athletics. Our goal for this fundraiser is 100% participation from every student TK - 12th grade, with each student selling at least 2 ShoppingBoss codes.

Be on the lookout next week for the official launch of the ShoppingBoss program but for now, watch this quick video to learn more about this program and how you can support our school!

Parent Teacher Fellowship Needs Your Help



It is time again for the school year to begin and the Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) Team traditionally sponsors a "Welcome Back" breakfast for all the teachers of HGCS. We are asking for your help. We will be feeding all the teachers; Elementary, Middle, and High, on Monday, August 7 at 8:30 am, in the Welcome Center. We have divided the needs by school as follows:

Elementary - Hot casseroles of any kind
Middle - Fruit, orange juice/fruit juice, paper products
High School -Biscuits, Muffins, Pastries

If you can contribute, email Traci Backes at tgbackes@carolina.rr.com no later than this Saturday, August 5th.

We will need the food delivered by 8 am, Monday, August 7th in the lobby of the Education Center. If you have items that can be delivered prior to that day, we can make arrangements for those as well.

Thank you so much! Looking forward to a great school year!

In His Service,
Parent Teacher Fellowship Team
