📣 OCTOBER 2026 HP BOXHOLDER IS HERE!
October will be a busy month at Huntley Project, and this month’s Boxholder is packed with information.
This year we are not mailing the October edition, so please help us spread the word by sharing it with friends, family, and other members of the HP community.
❤️ One of the most important parts of this month’s Boxholder is recognizing three longtime members of the Huntley Project family who will retire during the 2026–27 school year:
Jeanette Manternach
Chris Geck
Rick Dees
In the end, if we are not about the people who serve, contribute, and make this place better, what is a school really about? We sincerely appreciate everything these three have given to our students, staff, school, and community.
📅 Also inside this month:
Senior & Parent Nights
Senior Pictures
🎀 Pack the Place in Pink
⚫ Blackout Day
🔴 Red Ribbon Week
College Application Week & Scholarships
MAST Testing Information
October School Menu
FFA Activities
JH Girls Basketball & Wrestling
US Veterans Day Parade & Program
Project Booster Club & HPPTA Information
…and the full October activity calendar!
October will be another busy month around HP, but around here, busy usually means our kids are getting opportunities—and that is a pretty good thing.
