FBI : "Fellas Being Involved"The HVA PTSA will be launching a new initiative this year called the FBI (that's "Fellas Being Involved"). The initiative is intended to promote the importance of men, uncles, grandfathers, fathers, father-figures, being involved in the education of their children, with special emphasis on the students at HVA. Research shows that students do better when the men in their lives take an active interest in their education. Senior VideoA senior video will be sponsored by the HVA PTSA. It will consist of several special senior class events such as Spirit Week, Baccalaureate, Graduation event party, Prom, and Graduation. The cost is $40. This video will NOT take the place of the FLIGHT yearbook but will serve as a special memento for seniors to highlight special activities of the year. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the PTSA. An order form may be found at the bottom of the page under 'PTSA Files and Information'.
