The Weekly Highlander

Dear Highlander Families:

Welcome back to the final quarter of the year! Hang on, the next few weeks will go quickly. Please join us this Thursday, April 3rd from 6 pm - 7 pm for the Hewes Celebration of Learning, also known as Open House. This will be an opportunity for parents to come to campus and see all of the exciting things your students have been learning this year. If you have a 5th grader who will be attending Hewes next year, please join us in the Activity Center at 5:30 for a Welcome to 6th Grade meeting.

The PTA-sponsored International Week was rescheduled for the week of April 7th. The details of the lunchtime activities will be shared before the week begins. If your student plays volleyball, the first boy's scrimmage will be on Tuesday, April 8th, after school, and the first girl's scrimmage will be on Thursday, April 10th, after school. All scrimmages will be held at Hewes.

Please stay connected to Hewes by checking our website and following us on Instagram @heweshighlanders for the latest information and news.
