Optional Visit to BSE Media Center
Just a reminder that you're invited to join us for an optional visit to the Brooks School Elementary Media Center on Tuesday, March 22nd. This will give you the opportunity to add your creative thoughts to the implementation of our creative work space design here at HRE. While our media center does not have to be a replica of BSE, it will allow you to see some of the key components in action that we would like to create at HRE. Remember, this is only if you would like to attend! After our visit we will schedule a follow-up session at HRE to brainstorm ideas. If you have any questions please let Lauren, Andrew, or Will know.
Please RSVP to Lauren by the end of the day Monday so she can give the media specialist at BSE a head count. Thanks!
Spring is Here!

If ill, you need to put your absence into AESOP with as much notice as you can give - technically no later than 6 AM. Any absences not entered or entered after 6 AM will not be filled with a sub.
Upcoming Kona Ice Event
Kona Ice will be back with us the day of our Spring Parties. By hosting Kona for this paid event they have agreed to return on our Field Day in May and provide every HRE student with a FREE Kona Ice. In addition, they will also be sponsoring the entire cost of a Lego Wall project that is being planned. The logistics for the day are below...
- 12:45-1:30, Kindergarten (Kindergarten hallway)
- 1:30-2:00, 4th Grade (Cafeteria)
- 2:00-2:30, 1st Grade (Cafeteria)
- 2:30-3:00, 2nd Grade (Cafeteria)
- 3:00-3:30, 3rd Grade (Cafeteria)
We will have classroom teachers line up your students based on the size Kona they are purchasing (largest to smallest). You can hand your envelope to the Kona folks as you enter and tell them how many of each size you have. Permission/Opt-out slips will go home on Monday, March 28th. If you have students who do not return a form at all and you feel it is because of financial need, then you may put them at the end of your line so they can receive a treat. Please use your judgement and only do this for students who NEED it. If you have any questions or concerns please be sure to let me know.
