Dear Friendly Hills Families,

As we turn the calendar to November, I cannot help but reflect on just how much we packed into October! From Family Math Night and our frightfully fantastic Harvest Festival to Parent-Teacher Conferences and Red Ribbon Week, our campus was filled with learning, laughter, connection, and Hawk Pride.

One of the things I am most proud of is the growth we are seeing in our classrooms. Our young mathematicians are truly stepping up! Students are doing more than finding answers. They are thinking deeply, sharing their reasoning, using strategies, listening to one another, and engaging in meaningful mathematical discourse. We want our students to see themselves as capable mathematicians and problem solvers, and every day they are showing us just how much they can do when we give them the opportunity to think, struggle, explain, and grow.

November brings a new quarter and a fresh opportunity to grow. Following Parent-Teacher Conferences, we move forward with even stronger partnerships between home and school. Thank you to our families for showing up, asking questions, celebrating progress, and working alongside our teachers. When schools and families work together, our students are the ones who benefit most.

November is also a month of gratitude and giving. Our Student Leadership team will be helping us put those values into action by leading a schoolwide food drive. More details will be coming soon, and we look forward to seeing our Hawks come together to support others in our community.

As we enter this season of gratitude, I want you to know how incredibly thankful I am for our dedicated staff, our supportive families, and, most importantly, the amazing students I get to be on this learning adventure with every single day.

At Friendly Hills, we continue to learn what it means to thrive in community, lead with integrity, and grow every single day. There will always be more to learn and more ways to grow, but there is so much to celebrate along the way.

Thank you for being part of our Friendly Hills family and for believing in our Hawks. Here's to a November filled with gratitude, growth, kindness, learning, and community.

With gratitude and Hawk Pride,
Ms. Roach

Friendly reminder! If you have not already done so, please take a few moments to complete the School Culture and Climate Family & Community Survey. We would greatly appreciate as much family participation as possible.

We understand the survey is a bit lengthy, but it is an important opportunity to make your voice heard. Your feedback helps us identify strengths, areas for growth, and ways to improve the overall culture, climate, and experience for all students and families at Friendly Hills Elementary School. Thank you for partnering with us to make our school community even stronger.
