Hansen Weekly Update
February 10, 2023
Hi Hansen Students, Parents, and Families!
I hope you all have enjoyed a wonderful week, and it seems hard to believe that we find ourselves just five school days away from February break! This week, we celebrated our 100th day of school on Wednesday. It was awesome to see students and classes celebrating in fun and creative ways - whether it was dressing as 100 year old's, making and wearing 100 day shirts, and of course, our Kindergarten 100th Day Parade throughout the building, our students and staff enjoyed celebrating this exciting moment of the school year!
Please enjoy some of this week's highlights below...
Creating a Culture of Equity, Achievement, Inspiration, and Joy!
REMINDER: Valentine's Day!
Please do not send any candy or food in with your child to distribute to others. We have students with allergies and dietary restrictions, and we also need to follow the guidelines around food in the classrooms.
Also, if your child's class is sharing cards, please be sure to include every child. Your assistance with both of these is appreciated!
