Dear Hill-Roberts Families,
This Thursday and Friday I spent most of my time visiting classrooms. Of course, professionally, observing classroom instruction is very important work, but personally, especially as daylight gets shorter, it is so enheartening to see the light and love of learning in our students' eyes. From their curious questions about characters in a book to their surprising solutions to my math challenges, I appreciate how intellectually engaged our students are as we head towards the Winter break.
This week, with the help of our wonderful Student Council, we are still accepting non-perishable items (e.g., cans, cereals, pasta, etc) until this Wednesday. If you can, please consider donating. In addition, for next week, the last week before break (12/18-12/21), our Student Council has announced a Spirit week with the following themes:
Mon. 12/18 Mad for Plaid (wear flannel/plaid)
Tues. 12/19 Teal Tuesday - wear teal for kindness
Wed. 12/20 Winter Wonderland Wednesday (dress in white or blue)
Thurs. 12/21 Twinkle Thursday (K - gold/yellow, 1 - red, 2 - silver/gray, 3 - blue, 4 - green)
Otherwise, report cards were published in the Aspen Family Portal on Wednesday. If you did not receive it or are struggling to log in, please reach out to the office and someone should be able to help.
Have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Dr. Paul Madden, Principal
Ms. Nora Hassan, Assistant Principal
