Shopping Boss
HGCS 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!
"I Forgot Table"
If your child forgot something from home and you need to bring it to school, there is a table at the top of the escalators, across from Mr. Hamilton's office called the "I forgot table". You will need to take their item and place it on that table with their name on it and in between classes, they can check it. We will not disrupt class to have a student pick up a personal belonging unless it is a medical situation.Washington DC Parent Information Meeting
