On Wednesdays, we wear pink during Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 💞
Students, staff, and families—join us in showing support and spreading awareness by wearing pink each Wednesday throughout October. Together, we honor survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and stand with those currently facing breast cancer. Let’s fill our schools with love, hope, and a sea of pink this month. 💗

We are thankful and thrilled that our local student led group has selected Ms. Dolan as this month’s educator of the month for HSE.
Thank you to every student, parent, and community who helped through voting.


When students are in class every day, they gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed.
Attendance always matters, but October 6-10 is especially important. That's the week the state takes its enrollment snapshot to decide school funding for the year.
✅ Students in class = accurate snapshot = the right funding to support stronger schools in our A-rated District and better opportunities for our kids.
Let's work together to make sure our students are here next week—it makes a difference for everyone.

Please see October’s FFVP calendar and nutrition nibbles to share with your students. I hope we began the year with everyone enjoying the wide variety of produce for September. Going forward we serve snack items Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays most weeks. With the exception of a Monday holiday, in that case we will serve Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays. If any questions, please contact me at the below email address.
