    Thank you for supporting Hickory Grove Christian School by collecting Box Tops. Our school earns 10 cents for each box top submitted. This is our final collection date of the school year.

You can help us reach our goal by sending in your Box Tops by May 9th.

    HERE ARE A COUPLE OF TIPS TO HELP MAKE SUBMITTING BOX TOPS EASIER:

    • Ask your family members and neighbors for save them for you.
    • Bundle your Box Tops in groups of 50 using a Ziploc bag or envelope.
    • Write your student’s name and grade on the bag or envelope. Have your student drop off the Box Tops in the container in the High School office.

    Our school will receive a check based on the number of Box Tops submitted which will be used to purchase items the school needs.

    On April 30, 2018, HGCS will hold our 19th Annual Golf Tournament at Pine Lake Country Club in Charlotte, NC. Over the years, this golf tournament has proven to be one of the most profitable fundraisers for our school. This year the AAA Booster Club has set a goal of $30,000.

    Funds from this year's tournament will be used primarily to fund projects such as additional Promethean Boards, a greenhouse for the Aquaponics science lab and for a future purchase of a new video scoreboard in the gym.

    We hope you would consider participating or donating to this worthwhile event. There are multiple sponsorship opportunities available for individuals and businesses starting at the $150 level all the way up to $5000.
