HOA IS A NUT-FREE CAMPUS We have a number of students at HOA that have life threatening peanut/nut allergies. Prevention is the best approach. We ask your cooperation in not sending any class treats or snacks containing 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.

MARY POPPINS JR. FIELD TRIP We are going to see Mary Poppins Jr. at Theatre in the Grove on February 27. This is a rare grades 3-8 field trip! The play starts at 10:00, so we will be leaving here in the big yellow school bus at 9:15 and returning at 11:30. We have 75 tickets available, so please let me know ASAP if your student would like to come. We also could use parent chaperones as well.
SCIENCE FAIR I wanted to give you all a heads up that Science Fair packets will be coming home in the next few weeks! The HOA Science Fair will be April 16 in our gym in the evening. It is a required project for students taking Science online, and optional for all others, including Homeschool Track students. This is a really fun experience and event and I encourage everyone to participate.
