Happenings around Hicksville.
The 2026 Scholar Apple Sponsorship has officially closed, and the Hicksville community showed up in a big way! According to Ted Urban, in the Hicksville High School Alumni Foundation, Inc. Facebook page, "Together, we covered 75 of the 91 apples - an amazing tribute to the educators and mentors who shape our district." The top 20% of the graduating class will receive an apple at the Scholars Dinner. The Hicksville Council of PTAs wrote on Facebook, "Your generosity helps recognize and celebrate our scholars in a meaningful way. Thank you for always showing up for our students and for making our community so special."

Welcome to December. When we think of this month, we think of snow, celebrations, Santa, lit menorahs, and kinaras. There are many celebrations taking place during this month. There are also many festivities taking place in and around Hicksville. By the time this issue has gone to press, a few have passed, but you will know to look for them in the local papers and online next year.
