Dear HBC Elementary Families,
As we enter into our final week of the school year, I want to take a moment to thank our students, staff, and families for another wonderful year at H-BC Elementary. It has been exciting to watch our students grow academically, socially, and personally throughout the year.
A special congratulations goes out to everyone involved in the Puppy Relays! It was a great event filled with school spirit, teamwork, and fun. Thank you to all who helped make the day such a success for our students.
We still have several field trips and end-of-the-year activities ahead, and we look forward to finishing the school year strong while creating lasting memories together. On the final day of school, students will also have the opportunity to take one last tour of the old elementary school. This will be a special moment for many as we reflect on the memories and traditions that building has provided to generations of H-BC students and staff.
As summer approaches, we hope all of our families enjoy a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable break. Thank you for your continued support of our school and students.
Please mark your calendars for next year’s Open House on August 26. We are already looking forward to welcoming everyone back for another great school year!
Splash pad may not be up and running on Friday, May 22, when we had planned to take students. We will keep you informed as this situation evolves.
Have a wonderful summer and stay safe!
