HFF 5K IS THIS SUNDAY!!!
So, We Didn't Quite Get To 250, But...
Therefore, we will STILL give Mr. Fava a fashionable red mohawk hairdo at the Pep Rally.
Third Grade, which had the most registrants, will choose between shearing Mr. Fava's head and painting it red. Ms. Nunez's Pre-K3 and Ms. Mouton's K5 class will get the other option. Congrats to these classes for their participation!
Major kudos to Ms. Teresa Rodriguez, 5K Chair, as well as Ms. Patti Martinez, Ms. Vanessa Saldana and Dr. Tanoya Harris for their support. They did an amazing job galvanizing our school community for this event!
Change For Free Dress...
