Dear Bee Families,
As we approach the end of this week, we wanted to take a moment to remind you to check our lost and found for any misplaced items, particularly clothing. With the changing weather and bustling activities, it's easy for items to get misplaced. Our lost and found is brimming with jackets, sweaters, and other articles waiting to be reclaimed. We encourage you to stop by and retrieve any missing items.
Additionally, we are thrilled to celebrate the exceptional attendance of our students from 2nd quarter! To honor their efforts, we hosted a special attendance celebration last week, filled with donuts and certificates in recognition for their outstanding attendance records. We thank you, parents, for your continued support in encouraging regular attendance and punctuality.
As we gear up for spring break, we want to remind all families to enjoy this well-deserved time off. While it's a time for relaxation and rejuvenation, we also encourage students to keep reading. Whether it's delving into a captivating novel, exploring new interests, or discovering the wonders of the world through literature, we hope reading and playing outside will be an integral part of your spring break adventures. We wish you all a safe and enjoyable break, filled with cherished memories and enriching experiences.
As always, we are a team. Please reach out with any questions or celebrations you may have.
Warmly,
HES Administrative Team
Mrs. Candace Hunstad
Mrs. Elizabeth Baxter
