Mrs. Creswell's Kindergartners sat waiting for a reader to come,
And then a 5th grader guest reader entered—oh boy, what fun!
She opened the book and the story took flight,
Filling the room with delight, bright and light.
The Cat in the Hat gave a tip‑tap and cheer:
“Reading together’s the best time of the year!”
Then he twirled his tall hat as he said with a grin:
“When friends share a story, the magic begins!”
Kindergarten is enjoying celebrating some Dr. Seuss stories and special dress up days this week!

🌱🦅 The House of Hope Traveling Garden Visits Hobe Sound Elementary! 🥕🌼
This week, all of our students in VPK through 5th grade had an exciting hands-on learning experience as Ms. Amanda brought the House of Hope Traveling Nutrition Education Garden to our campus!
The “garden on wheels,” in partnership with Cleveland Clinic Martin Health, provided our Eagles with an interactive opportunity to explore how healthy food grows and why good nutrition matters. Students discovered live vegetables, fruits, herbs, and pollinators while learning how gardening connects to healthy lifestyles and strong communities.
Pictured: Mrs. Brandt’s Super 2nd graders
