Welcome to HBB: Writing challenge and some other stuff

Writing Challenge

After School Enrichment Program

We are VERY excited to announce that we will be starting an after-school enrichment program, sponsored by the HBB PTA. For a small fee ($35 for 10 weeks) students will have the opportunity to stay after school (3:30-4:30) to join a number of fun enrichment clubs. Please be on the look out for the sign up sheet!!!!

Dress Up Day

November 19th is College Gear Day. We want to encourage all students to wear their college gear. We are working hard to promote a college bound culture. All students can reach their goals if they work hard to get there. Don’t have any college gear? Make a sign, make a hat, and get creative in celebrating the fact that all students can go to college!

PT Conferences Questions to ask

Parent Teacher Conferences are coming up soon. Parent Teacher Conferences are a great way to support your child’s learning at home by learning what they are doing in school. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. A solid home school partnership is crucial to success in school. Some good questions to ask may include

- What areas is my child struggling with?

- What do you consider to be his or her strengths?

- What can we do at home to support my child’s learning?

Again, don’t be afraid to ask questions and we hope to see you there.

Books instead of gifts?
With the holidays around the corner and many of you considering teacher gifts, we have an gift option for you. The books in our libraries could use some updating. Many of them are very worn, outdated, or never get checked out. We want our students reading high-quality literature and nonfiction, so these books need to be available for our readers.

We have created an Amazon wishlist of books to add to our schools’ libraries. The books are from a variety of grade levels and genres that we’d love to see our students and teachers reading.

You can find the wishlist on Amazon by:

- Going to www.amazon.com.
- Click on “Wish Lists” in the top right of the Amazon homepage.
- Click “Find wish list or registry” and type “HBB library.”
- Browse the options and make your selection for purchase. Consider purchasing the “library binding” edition if it’s available.
- Have the book delivered to your home.
- Have your student bring the book to the library, and our librarians will give him/her a bookplate to fill out for the book you’ve chosen to donate to the library.

It’s that easy!

Please don’t feel pressure to buy a book. This program is intended to just be an option if you are thinking about a gift. Don’t hesitate to contact vvigna@middleboro.k12.ma.us if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration.
