Recently our first graders put on their annual First Grade Mall. Students had the opportunity to go shopping for goods that were donated and have fun visiting different shops (classrooms) which offered different items. From books for sale to stuffed animals, to toys, to a carboard carnival, students had fun practicing their money and shopping skills. Thank you to the First Grade Team for hosting this event!
Wish Day is almost here! HCS families are invited to the One School, One Book Family Night to celebrate reading "Wishtree" on Wednesday, May 1, at 6:00 PM in the HCS Gym. (Siblings are welcome, but no drop-offs, please.)
Meet a tree expert, try family yoga, enjoy a story walk, nibble a treat from the bake sale, toss a beanbag in our tree hole game, and hang a wish on the Wishtree. Bring your BINGO board for a chance to win a raffle prize! Hope to see you there!
Recently, our fourth graders delighted the community with a trip around the world during their annual Multicultural Concert. The concert presented music, dance, and singing from Ghana, Scotland, Brazil, Canada, and India. The students designed and painted their country's backdrops in Art class and produced post cards using digital artwork and design in Technology class. It was a fun, festive, international evening! Bravo to the fourth graders for a job well done and thank you to Mrs. Starck, Mr. Terrile, and Mrs. McLaughlin!
