Horizon Science Academy PTO - Des Moines

🧡 Help Us Celebrate Our Amazing HSA Staff! 🧡

Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up May 4–8, and we’re working hard to make sure each of our 35 staff members feels appreciated for everything they do 💙

This is actually a project from Mrs. Cannon, and she’s asked our HSA families for help reaching out into the community!

💡 Do you know a local business that might be willing to donate a gift card or gift certificate?
(Any amount is truly appreciated — our goal is to make sure every staff member receives something!)

Whether it’s a favorite coffee shop, restaurant, salon, or small business — we’d love your suggestions or connections!

✨ Want to help another way?
If you’d like to purchase a gift card from a favorite local spot to donate, that is absolutely appreciated too (but never expected!).

👇 Drop ideas in the comments or message us directly

Thank you for always showing up for our school community — you all make HSA so special 🦅🧡💙
