General Announcements

• This year Hoover High School is proud to join with Spain Park in hosting our very own Hoover City Relay for Life event on April 28th from 4-10 pm at Spain Park’s Football Stadium! The Relay for Life club at Hoover has been planning year round to make this event great! We work with the American Cancer Society to raise awareness and celebrate the lives of those who fought and won their battle against cancer. The event will have many tents and teams set up for a very fun night to help raise cancer awareness and fund research for a cure. The event will contain music, activities, and so much more. We hope that everyone can come out and support us as we help raise money for a cure.
• Helpers are needed Saturday, April 29 at 1:00pm to help build and spruce up our BGIS garden. We need helpers with power tools to help put together garden beds for our Katie's Krops Program. Katie's Krops gardens donate thousands and thousands of pounds of fresh produce to people in need.  Their mission is to inspire young people to maintain vegetable gardens of all sizes and donate the harvest to help feed people in need. Please join us Saturday, and bring your wheelbarrows to help move soil/mulch, power tools to build garden beds, and some muscle to help weed.  Sponsored by The Green Team
