HSE is celebrating Literacy week this week. Every day there is a new activity to do. Monday, older kids were getting together with the younger kids and reading books. A third grade class visited and read to Ms. M. Evans' kindergarten.
HSE celebrated 100 Days of school this past Friday, January 23rd. Many students and teachers wore hats and or shirts to celebrate the occasion. Kindergarten (as shown in the photo) made 100 as a group. Nice job! Their teachers stand proudly behind them on the playground.

Math + games = fourth grade fun! 🎲➗ We’re grateful for the exciting math games that keep our learners engaged and smiling—generously donated by the Education Foundation of Martin County and the amazing people at Community Chest. We’re also giving a special shout-out to Humphrey, who’s living in each of our classrooms as part of our One Book, One School reading adventure!
Elevate Eagles with Evening Reading!
📚✨ Let’s celebrate the power of books and the bright futures they help create! ✨📚
I recently came across a beautiful reminder from the Guardian:
“Books lead to a richer life. They also lead to a more successful life, as a two-decade-long study showed. Kids who lived with books in their home – as few as 20 – benefitted significantly over those who didn’t, in areas like academic success, vocabulary development and job attainment.”
How incredible is that? Just 20 books can help open doors, spark curiosity, and build confidence. 🌟
And the best part — building a home library doesn’t have to be expensive!
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library offers free books to children
Thrift stores and garage sales are treasure troves
School give‑aways and library sales make it easy to grow a collection on any budget
Every story added to a child’s world is a gift that keeps giving. ❤️
If you’d like help finding resources or getting started, please reach out to me — Mrs. Parrilli. I’m always happy to support this wonderful endeavor. 🌈📖
Si está aprendiendo inglés y/o necesita ayuda con la lectura, por favor comuníquese con la Biblioteca Pública del Condado de Martin.
🍕➗ Fractions are more fun when pizza is involved! 🍕➗
Mrs. Brandt’s 2nd grade class learned how to share fairly by dividing pizza into equal parts. There were so many little chefs in the classroom today, cooking up math skills and teamwork! 👩🍳
