Patriot Pride: Patriot Pride Bingo winners got to do "Popcorn and Games" for their prize this week! The final Pride Store of the year is April 26.
GET READY TO ROLL: H-BC Elementary K-5 students will be trading in their sneakers for skates in PE class April 22nd to May 3rd. We'll be learning the basics of quad skating, from balancing and gliding to stopping and turning. Roller Skating is a fun way to improve our balance, coordination, and get some exercise. Students need not worry if they’ve never skated before – everyone starts somewhere! We'll be learning together and cheering each other on. Parent permission slips are due back before April 22.
Our sincere thanks to the H-BC Elementary PTO for paying for this SkateTime experience for our students. Please direct any questions to Mr. DeBoer.
