We are LOVING “I Love to Read” Month! ❤️📚

From cozy PJs on Monday to twinning with friends, rocking crazy hats & hair for kindness, showing our grade-level love with red and pink, and finishing strong in gold & silver — our Spirit Week was one for the books! ✨

Reading + school spirit = the perfect combo! 📖💛

We want to take a moment to recognize the work Dr. Holten put into creating a meaningful experience for Horizon East Students who participate in extra- and co-curricular activities. This celebration was led with passion, intention, and genuine care for all students. It wasn’t about highlighting the best player or performer, but about recognizing those who are truly living up to our shared standards and core values.
The pictures don't do it justice. Our students were engaged, proud, and fully present in the moment.

Well done, Dr. Holten. We are incredibly grateful to have you on our team!

An awesome winter tradition for students at Horizon Middle School East is the Honor Band Holiday Tour: members of this ensemble spend the day traveling to MAPS elementary schools and other locations to share their music during the festive season. This year, the Honor Band visited Ellen Hopkins Elementary, Robert Asp Elementary, Dorothy Dodds Elementary and Serenity Assisted Living in Dilworth. Great job, Spuds! 🎶❄️🧡 #FoundationsForTheFuture
