We had a fun week reading Dr. Seuss Books and writing to some creative journal prompts. The students enjoyed dressing up as Superkids Characters and reading with a buddy on Friday afternoon. This week, we look forward to diving into some animal research for our informative writing projects. We are only three weeks away from Easter and have a lot of fun learning activities to look forward to!

Field Trip

We are going to the Zoo on Wednesday, March 18. Please check your child's folder for a note that will be sent home this week. Please sign the permission slip and return it back to school by Friday, March 13.

World Renew

For our Easter service project, HCS will be collecting money to donate to World Renew. “World Renew partners with local churches and organizations around the world to bring holistic programs that transform communities in every area of need. Our goal is systemic, generational change in five key areas: Peace and Justice, Community Health, Food Security, Economic Opportunity and Disaster Response.” From the About Us section of the World Renew website.

How can you participate? As a family, discuss what your goal is for donation. Encourage your children to participate in earning and the giving of their own money. Provide ways for them to earn money and talk about tithing part of it. Have them look for change around the house to donate. If you as parents would like to make a donation, also include your children in the discussion of what you will be donating and why. Teachers will be sharing this project and information about World Renew and the gift catalog on Monday and over the next three weeks. Donations (cash or check made out to HCS - you can get a donation receipt) will be accepted starting March 9 until March 20. You may send them in an envelope that is clearly marked “World Renew Donation” with your child to give to their teacher. The classroom teachers will be keeping track of donations and assisting the students in picking out what the class would like to “purchase” from the gift catalog. What each grade level purchased will be shared at Easter Chapel on March 25. 

Friendly Reminders

Library Books must be returned to school on Thursday.
