🌭 Hot dogs! Get your hot dogs here! 🌭 Since 2012, the HSD Elementary Grill-Out has been a much-loved tradition that brings great food and fun to our students each spring. Even as our district has continued to grow, this small-town favorite remains a cherished part of who we are. Led by Child Nutrition Director, Chris Beach, this event has brought the smell of sizzling hot dogs to every elementary school across the district—rain or shine. Today, we fired up the season at Horizon Elementary. It’s a tradition we truly relish each year! 🐾
