Holiday Market
December has arrived and Hough’s annual Holiday Market is the perfect event for festive, family fun! Hough students will enjoy the thrill of choosing their own special holiday gifts for family and friends. The children shop in the Hough library, along with a fifth-grade helper. Gifts are moderately priced with most under $5 and a few items up to $10. Families will also be able to enjoy the spectacular Holiday Market Bake Sale taking place in the gym. All proceeds go to the Hough PTO. Please direct questions to Ali Laumann at allisonlaumann@gmail.com or Anne Baumfeld at anne.e.abbott@gmail.com.

#WeBelong220
The Hough Hawks had opportunities to demonstrate their exceptional communication skills during gym class, as students took turns being blindfolded, and a partner had to verbally guide a classmate from one end of the gym to the other, navigating obstacles along the way.
