HSS Family Newsletter

I am looking forward to welcoming all of our students back from vacation. I hope that everyone had a chance to enjoy some outdoor family activities as well as snuggle up on the couch with a good book.

Speaking of books, the HSS book fair will be in full swing when we return to school on Monday. Please see the details below.

The week after the book fair, March 3-7, is Reading Week. We have daily events planned concluding with a trip to the SAU on Friday to celebrate our famous visiting author, Juana Martinez-Neal. Our librarian, Katrina Hill, will be reading some of the author's books to students and I've included a picture of them so that you can talk to your child about them.
