Thank you to our PTA for planning another AWESOME Spaghetti Supper! We are so lucky to have such a dedicated group of parents that work so hard to make HBB a better place! Thanks again!
MCAS Rally!
Today we hosted an MCAS Rally for the Whole School and we had a blast! We were visited by a special guest, Mark Kenny, who holds the Guinness Book of World Record for being the World's Best Handwalker. During his visit he wanted kids to understand that everyone has a talent, but you have to work hard! He shared with the students that he worked very, very, very hard in order to become deemed the World's Best Handwalker. He has walked down the entire staircase at the World Trade Center in New York and recently did the most amount of stairs in the shortest amount of time at Gillette Stadium. He has been on David Letterman and Regis and Kathy Lee and he has done it all through hard work! (check out his website! http://handwalker.com)
As we approach MCAS we thought the message would resonate with our kids because all year we have worked to teach the students that your brain is a muscle, and it gets stronger when you work hard.......similar to lifting weights. They have been working hard all year and if they work hard on MCAS day they will do great!
Please help us encourage students to work hard on MCAS. Also remember to make sure they get a good night sleep, eat a healthy breakfast on MCAS days and wear comfy clothes! Also remember this year that MCAS snacks will not be provided this year so please send in a healthy snack on testing days as well!
