Dear Parent/Guardians and Students, It’s almost the end of the year. To begin the process of closure, the 8th graders will be celebrating their accomplishments and their last year at Horton by having a dance. All of the 8th grade students have had and will have the opportunity to participate in the planning and production of the dance. We do, however need chaperones for the dance. If you are interested in chaperoning or donating items for the dance, please indicate below.
