Paraprofessionals play a critical role in inclusive education—providing individualized support, facilitating classroom management, and partnering with teachers to improve outcomes. On Paraprofessional Appreciation Day, let’s recognize their impact on student success and school culture. Let’s celebrate their dedication and hard work! 🎉🍎
Teacher Appreciation Week Donation Requests: We are planning a decade-themed teacher appreciation week. For the 1950's, we are doing root beer floats. For the 1990's, we are doing chips (all that and a bag of chips!) Our SCA students would also like to have a breakfast and snack cart delivery service. We have more fun events planned, but don't want to give away all of our secrets :) If you are willing to donate an item to assist us in this endeavor, please see this link for the Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2DG9GUUOM68BW?ref_=wl_share

Recently, the HHMS Library Drama Club performed a Reader’s Theater of Peter Pan for Kids by J.M. Barrie, creatively modified by Brendan P. Kelso. The HHMS Library Drama Club meets once a month for approximately twenty minutes. The students learn how to audition for roles, get into character, practice reading with expression and clarity, be team players, as well as just have fun with acting! Mrs. Dartez, the HHMS librarian, is very proud of each student’s hard work, creativity, and performances!

March is Women’s History Month! Behind every great student is a village—and a huge part of ours is powered by incredible women! Let's celebrate the pioneers who paved the way for our students today.
From the laboratory to the library, women have consistently broken barriers and redefined what’s possible. Our goal is to ensure every girl in our hallways sees herself in the stories we teach and the leaders we celebrate.
