Husky Howl

Huskies,

It was another wonderful week at Huffines. A few highlights include:

• Our 8th graders touring the Technology Exploration and Career Centers, learning about future pathways and getting hands-on experience with high-tech tools and programs.
• A tremendous Harvest Festival that brought our students, staff, and families together for an evening of fun and community. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the event. From games and music to face painting, food, and festive activities, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The laughter, smiles, and sense of togetherness made the night truly special.
• A special thank you to Southern Gentlemen Catering for the delicious food and to our PTA for the donations, time, and volunteers who made the night possible.
• We are proud to celebrate several of our student musicians who were selected for the LISD District Band. Their hard work, talent, and dedication to their craft continue to make us Husky proud.

YOU CAN’T HIDE THAT HUSKY PRIDE!
