A note from the Principal:

Dear HWS Families,

Today was our last school day of 2024 and we look optimistically forward to 2025!

Thank you so much to the parents who provided games and prizes for our classroom celebrations.  There was a lot of excitement in the air today and students really looked forward to the classroom parties with their friends.  We heard the chorus singing this morning as they walked through the halls and listened to music at lunch time – it was a lovely day!

We come back to school on Tuesday, January 7th as Monday is a Teacher Institute Day.

Wishing you a restful holiday and good health and happiness in the New Year!

Warm Wishes,

Gina Greenwald

Principal
