NEW SCHOOL POLICY REGARDING NUTS, PLEASE READ We have a number of students at HOA that have a life threatening peanut/nut allergy. Prevention is the best approach. Therefore, we ask your cooperation in not sending any class treats or snacks containing peanut/nuts or peanut/nut products to school with your child. Please let me know if you have any questions about this, thank you so much for your cooperation.

PARENT CONNECT Our next Parent Connect Meeting is, Monday, January 7, from 11:00-12:00. As usual, coffee and treats will be provided, and small children are welcome.
ART CLUB We are in the beginning stages of planning for an Art Club that will start second semester for grades 3-6, meeting on Tuesdays from 9:30-11:00. This art club will have a watercolor focus, with special guests coming in a few times to share different mediums. Our new Art Club instructor is Jullane Rich and she is with Influence Music Hall in Downtown Hillsboro. She has taught art classes and children's groups in our area for many years. Due to the preference of our instructor and our space constraints, we will be holding two sessions and limiting the number of students in each session to 15. Group 1 is currently full, but I am still taking rsvp's for Group 2, which will meet April 30, May 7, 14, 21, 28, and June 4.
