After performing, students were able to spend time interviewing grandparents. Thank you to the HSA and HPEA for their coordination and hospitality and to Mr. Pat and Mr. Darren for the setup.
Wee Deliver News: We have just completed the winter session of Wee Deliver. We received so many letters from classrooms and our dynamic 4th grade team worked so hard delivering them! Our spring session will begin on Wednesday, May 7th. Any 4th grader who is interested in working on the Spring Wee Deliver team just needs to report to the Art Room on Wednesday, May 7th at 8:05am, ready to work! Any 4th grader is welcome to work the spring session regardless of whether or not you worked the winter session. Questions? Email Ms. Murphy: murphy@hpsd.org and Ms. Pidane: pidane@hpsd.org.
