Friday is #NationalLawEnforcementAppreciationDay, and we'd like to thank our dedicated SRO's—Officers Werk, Horn and Jutting—for their partnership and commitment to keeping our schools safe! #FoundationsForTheFuture

On the first Friday of each month, staff at Horizon West wear gear to promote awareness of opportunities after high school. 🎓
Staff around the building take time to share with students about a school they (or someone they know) attended or a job they once had. This has been a fun way for students to get to know more about the adults in the building while also promoting great discussions! #foundationsforthefuture 🥔👍🏼





This project was a major highlight of our school-wide Month of Service. Our students are learning that a little time and effort can go a long way—by creating these blankets, they are delivering more than just handmade warmth; they are sending "extra joy" to our community during some of the coldest months of the year! We are so incredibly proud of the compassion and hard work our students and staff showed to make this massive impact.
Way to go, Spuds! 🧡🖤

Here’s to a great year of learning and growth. We look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday, January 5th! 🎉📚









Last week in Mr. Hann’s class, teams had 18 minutes, 20 spaghetti noodles, string, tape, and one marshmallow to build the tallest free-standing tower. Creativity, teamwork, and lots of laughs—students loved it! 🍝






Today's theme is Sweater Weather — wear your ugliest sweater to school! 🧶❄️
Tomorrow is Mistle-Toes — rock your holiday socks and spread the cheer! 🧦✨


Don’t forget—tomorrow is Holiday Hair, Don’t Care! Rock a festive hair accessory or hat 🎩
Hats, bows, antlers, bring it on! 🎄🦌🎀

The countdown to winter break is on! ❄️⏰
Today our students chose comfy and enjoyed a cozy Pajama Day! 💤🧸
Don’t forget tomorrow: last names A–M wear white🤍, and N-Z wear red! ❤️

Please take a moment during winter break to clean your students winter gear and get rid of the germs! 🦠⛄

Our students harvested red willow today — saving the bark for medicine and the inner green layer for traditional tobacco.
So grateful for our new Indian Ed Liaison, Kathy Benjamin, for sharing knowledge and supporting our students. 🧡✨






Happy 67th Day of School, HZNE!
