SCHOOL SPIRIT DAY The theme for next week, FEBRUARY 9-10 is….STUFFED ANIMAL DAY!!! Students may bring ONE animal that is no bigger than the size of a Build-a-Bear (roughly 18” x 18”). The next Spirit Day theme for February 23-24 is JERSEY DAY/SPORTS DAY!
FEBRUARY FIELD TRIP We are going to Glencoe High School on Thursday, February 19 to see a production of Charlie Brown! We are able to purchase extra tickets at the door, so if you would still like to come with your student, please do! We will leave HOA in the school bus at 8:30 and return a little after 11:00. Permission slips will be coming home next week.
ELEMENTARY CODING CLUB We are so excited to announce that the first day of our CODING Club is tomorrow, February 6 from 12:00-1:00 in the classroom at HOA. Students attending must have a permission slip on file. If your student attended face-to-face class this week, they should have brought one home. If not, I have many more here that can be picked up or signed next week. We would love to have parents stay and help! Experience coding is not necessary!
ART AND SPANISH ELECTIVE We will be offering Art and Spanish elective classes at the start of the next semester through Accelerate Ed. If you are interested, please let me know through email. If you would like to preview the curriculum, please let me know as well.
SCHOLASTIC We have a class code for online orders with Scholastic, it is MH739. It’s simple! Go to www.scholastic.com and register today! We earn points for books to build our classroom library! I place orders on the last school day of the month, so the next order will be placed on Friday, February 27.
