You Can Be Anything You Want to Be.....if you work hard!

This week we had an introductory assembly for each grade.  During the assembly we covered all the typical things that we tend to go over here at HBB but there was one thing we discussed with students that we thought would be important to share. 

During the assembly I asked every student to close their eyes and imagine what they want to be someday when they grow up.  When they opened their eyes I told the kids that they can become anything they want to be if they work hard enough!

One of our goals here at HBB is to ensure that every student leaves this school believing in themselves and believing that they can achieve great things.  We want our students to possess confidence, but also a solid understanding that they need to work hard in order to achieve their goals.  We do not look for perfection, we want kids to persevere and work hard!

In an effort to continue promoting this line of thinking we are hosting our 2^nd annual Career Day on Sept. 25^th.  We would like to encourage all students to dress up like what they want to be someday.  We would also like to ask you to encourage your child to dream.  Encourage your child to set high goals and remind them that if they work hard enough, anything is possible!

Thank you PTA!

Last week I attended the School Committee to receive a check from the PTA which was granted to start the Family Resource Center.   The Family Resource Center is an essential step in the School District's efforts to increase parent and community engagement and will help fill a huge need here for the schools.  Without the support of the PTA this would not be possible and I would again like to thank the PTA for their donation and all the continuous support to our students and teachers!  

BAT RUN!  

Please help us raise money for the Jesse Foundation by attending the Bat Run on Sept. 20th.  See the flyer below for more details.....we hope to see you there!

Breakfast

We would like to encourage all students to eat a healthy breakfast every morning.  Did you know breakfast is available to ALL interested students?  If you have a hard time getting your kids out the door in the morning maybe one solution is to have them eat their breakfast with us.  We have allotted time each morning for students to go to the cafeteria to get their breakfast.  If you are interested in learning more please give us a call.
