A Title I Meeting will begin the PTO meeting at 6:30 on April 8th.

The first graders finished their fairy tale unit this week. During the past three weeks they have read and compared many different fairy tales. The first graders wrote their own fairy tales, wrote letters to a Little Red Riding Hood character, wrote about which one of Snow White's dwarves they are like, wrote a letter to The Three Bears, and explained the steps on how to clean a cottage. The students also solved some Snow White word puzzles and watched Snow White. To finish the week they completed 8 fairy tale stem challenges! The first graders enjoyed learning about fairy tales!!

We had TWO friends join the Kindergarten sight word club this week! Congratulations to Kai and Izzabella on being able to read 100 words!

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT David Varney!

The junior high and high school will be taking Part I of the English state test for English 7, English 8, and English 10 on Tuesday, April 8 and Part II on Thursday, April 10. Buses will be running at normal time, but grades 7-12 will follow a 2 hour delay schedule meaning that those students testing need to be in their test room at 8:20 and will have 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete the day's test. 1st period will start at 10:20. Please bring your charged chromebook, something to write with, and something to do if you finish the test early like homework or reading a book. Students that do NOT have a test to take do not need to be here until 1st period at 10:20 but will need to provide their own transportation if coming then. If a student needs to ride the bus, please report to the cafeteria for study hall from 8:20 to 10 am.

Thank you to our volunteer, Mrs. Mary Humphrey, for coming to HN each week to give our students some extra help with math! Mrs. Humphrey is a retired teacher and member of the HN Class of 1977.

Haidn is the latest kindergarten student to read 100 sight words. Nice work, Haidn!
