Heart of Hartman
January 29-February 2
Cool Cat Family,
We have had a great week a Hartman! Congratulations to Mrs. Broyles, Hartman Teacher of the Year, and Mrs. Warren, Hartman Paraprofessional of the Year! Cool Cat Nation cheered loudly for them as they paraded through the hall!
We enjoyed seeing all of our Hartman families at Family Engagement Night on Thursday. A majority of our engagement stations focused on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, STEM occupations are projected to grow faster than the average for all occupations. Engaging in STEM lessons builds awareness of STEM professions early, which will make it easier to fill the STEM pipeline in the future. Students at Hartman are also learning how to code in computer lab and participating in STEM Maker Space Project Based Learning stations in the library!
We also hope to see all of our Cool Cats at our Valentine Dance on February 9! If you register early, you can save $1. The price is $4 per person and $5 at the door. We are looking forward to a fun night dancing and having fun with our loved ones! Dress your Ritzy best and put your dancing shoes on! A parent or family member will need to accompany their student.
We just need 10 more PTA members to receive the Welcome Back Award! If you have not joined PTA, we need you! You may sign up online at www.pta.org or send $7.50 with your student for your PTA membership!
Thanks,
Mrs. Ballast #hartmanpride #nbrs2017
