Need to Know

  1. This is Teacher Appreciation Week! We are so thankful for our staff at Hellstern - feel free to send them some extra "well wishes" this week!
  2. On May 19, all sixth grade students will go on a field trip to Crystal Bridges. Students will enjoy a tour of the museum, a guided walk through the trails, an artmaking activity and free lunch. Each student will need the Crystal Bridges Permission Form completed by a parent or guardian, which also indicates their lunch choice. The deadline to submit this form is Tuesday, May 6 to allow adequate planning time for Crystal Bridges. Thank you!
