A Note from Mrs. Mathe
What an exciting week it’s been at Hines! Our campus has been buzzing with energy, learning, and Husky pride as we wrapped up October with some memorable celebrations and activities.
We kicked off the week with Red Ribbon Week, where students showed their commitment to making healthy, safe choices through fun dress-up days. From PJ day to favorite team spirit wear, our hallways were filled with color, creativity, and positive messages about being healthy and making good choices.
On Thursday, we welcomed a very special guest — Orbit from the Houston Astros! ⚾💚 Orbit’s “Strike Out Bullying” program had our students laughing, cheering, and learning the importance of kindness, respect, and standing up for others. It was a great reminder that being a good teammate matters both on and off the field!
Our kindergarteners also had a blast with their pumpkin investigations, exploring the sights, smells, weights, and measurements of pumpkins through fun, hands-on learning experiences.
Friday was one for the books with our Storybook Character Parade! Students and staff brought their favorite book characters to life, celebrating the joy of reading and creativity. Our Huskies loved showing off their costumes and waving to their cheering families. It’s been a week full of learning, laughter, and community — a perfect way to close out October at Hines!

Student Spotlight
We are excited to introduce a new section in The Hines Herald called Student Spotlight! This feature will celebrate the amazing achievements, acts of kindness, and positive contributions of our Huskies both inside and outside of school. In this section, we will highlight students who have gone above and beyond—whether it’s reaching a personal goal, helping others, or making a difference in the community. We can’t wait to share these inspiring stories and honor the incredible ways our students shine!
Noah Noguera
He dreams of representing Grand Oaks High School one day and later playing at the college level. He shared, “I just want to work hard, stay humble, and help my team,” a reflection of his character both as an athlete and as a young leader. We are incredibly proud of his commitment, his humility, and the joy he brings to the game. 🐾⚽️
