Our students were invited to contribute to a Time Capsule in honor of The Apollo School’s 100th Anniversary! 🎉 They reflected on what life and learning is like in 2025, imagining what students in 2075 might think when it’s opened 50 years from now! 📚💫
This Grand Centennial Celebration takes place Sunday, October 19th at 4 PM 🕓 at 9141 SE Apollo Street. Families are welcome to join our community partners and honor this local historical school! 🎈🎶🎂

We can’t wait to see our HSE family there — let’s show our Eagle pride and make this night a huge success!
In Ms. Hasting’s lab, students became potion makers as they explored “mystery solutions” and “mystery powders” to create exciting chemical reactions! 💥 Through this fun experiment, they learned how to explain the difference between an experiment and other types of scientific investigations (Science Standard 1.2). 🔬👩🔬
On Thursday, our students amazed us with their math skills — mastering place value, regrouping, and even teaching their partners step-by-step how to solve double-digit addition problems! ❤️
We love seeing our Eagles learn by explaining their thinking and helping one another soar in math! 🦅➕💡
🌍💙🦅 What an incredible night at Hobe Sound Elementary!

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.
