Dear Hughes Parents, Guardians, and Students
We had some exciting events this week. We had a fantastic spirit week and students had so much fun dressing as twins or favorite book characters. Our staff took part in the fun as well! Our SCA, led by Ms. Sobota, coordinated the spirit week and put on our first dance of the year. On Monday and Tuesday we welcomed over 500 rising 7th graders to learn about life as middle school students at Langston Hughes. Current 6th grade students learned all about the different classes, programs, and activities here, toured the school, and also saw performances from our band, orchestra, chorus, and drama students. What a wonderful week displaying the spirit of Hughes!
Sincerely,
Aimée Monticchio
Principal
Twin Day
 Favorite Characters
