๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™ Bullying Prevention Month at HSE! ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก

October is Bullying Prevention Month, and at Hobe Sound Elementary, we are leaning into our CHARACTER COUNTS! pillars as we focus on creating a school where every Eagle feels welcomed, respected, and safe. ๐Ÿฆ…

Throughout the month, we will be celebrating and practicing:

๐Ÿ”ต Trustworthiness
๐ŸŸก Respect
๐ŸŸข Responsibility
๐ŸŸ  Fairness
๐Ÿ”ด Caring
๐ŸŸฃ Citizenship

Each pillar represents an important part of how we treat ourselves, one another, and our school community. Together, these character traits help us build a culture where kindness matters, every voice matters, and everyone belongs. ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŽจ Help us show our character through COLOR!

๐Ÿ”ต Monday, October 5th: Send your Eagle to school wearing as much BLUE as possible for World Bullying Prevention Day awareness.

๐ŸŸ  Wednesday, October 21st: Send your Eagle to school wearing as much ORANGE as possible to celebrate UNITY!

Let's fill HSE with color and character as we stand together for a school community where BEING AN EAGLE IS SWEET!

๐Ÿ“šโœจ WOW, HSE FAMILIES! โœจ๐Ÿ“š

There is SO much happening in the HSE Media Center, and we couldn't be more excited! ๐ŸŽ‰โค๏ธ

๐Ÿ’ฐ First, a HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in our "Penny" Wars fundraiser! (Let's be honest... these days it takes a lot more than pennies! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ’ต) Thanks to your generosity, we raised just over $350 to help ship HSE's African Library to Uganda! ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ“ฆ๐Ÿ“š

๐Ÿ† Congratulations to our 3rd Grade students, who were the clear winners with an incredible $148 donated! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฅ‡๐ŸŽ‰

We're getting so close! We only need about $150 more to make this dream a reality. If anyone would like to donate trash compactor garbage bags ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ or packing tape ๐Ÿ“ฆ, we would be incredibly grateful. We are beyond excited to finally get this project packed up and on its way! ๐Ÿš›๐ŸŒโค๏ธ

๐ŸŽฅ๐ŸŽค We were also thrilled to welcome Murray Middle School's ENN News Crew to the Media Center! A special shoutout to former HSE student Rocco, who helped get our teleprompter and microphones set up. ๐Ÿ“ฐโœจ It was so much fun having him back on campus, even for a short visit! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿซโค๏ธ Thank you, Rocco! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ“š Meanwhile, our students have been busy doing what they do best... READING, READING, and more READING! ๐Ÿคฉ

A special thank you to the @EdFoundationMC for donating books for our book vending machine and the awesome brag tags! ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ… Students earn books when they reach point club milestones, and brag tags are awarded when they pass a Sunshine State, Sunshine State Jr., or Orange Blossom quiz. ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ“—

๐ŸŽ‰ The students LOVE them so much that we're already realizing... we need more! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿ“šโœจ And last but certainly not least... BOOK FAIR IS COMING! โœจ๐Ÿ“š

Mark your calendars! ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Our favorite event of the year returns during the last week of October! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ›๏ธ

๐Ÿ‘‹ Parent Liaison Ms. Feldman is currently looking for volunteers to help make this a fantastic week for our students and families. If you'd like to be part of the fun, we'd love to have you! โค๏ธ

โœ… And yes... the Book Fair will be OPEN during Parent-Teacher Conferences! ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ“š

Thank you for supporting our readers, our library, and our global literacy efforts! Together, we're making a difference!โค๏ธ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ“š

Further highlighting the importance of this annual observance, the Martin County School Board approved the 2026 Constitution Week Proclamation at Tuesday night's meeting, developed with Ms. Rae Scimeca and the Halpatiokee Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
