Happy 2023 HHS!
Happy New Year, Huckleberry Heroes! I hope everyone had a relaxing break and were able to enjoy some of the spring-like weather we had the last few days! I am so glad to be back at HHS and am looking forward to all the fun we will have in 2023! While I was out, I was able to spend quality time with my daughter, Emilia, who we welcomed into our family this summer.
The beginning of a New Year is often when many of us set new goals for ourselves. Of course goals can be set any time of year, but why not help your child come up with a goal in January? Learning how to set goals is a great skill we can help children learn how to do. Check out the resource below to find four steps to help teach children to set goals!
