Hubbard Woods Update
May 23, 2022
Principal Update:
Dear Hubbard Woods Families,
What a glorious Mayfest we had yesterday. The weather could not have cooperated better. Seeeing our community back together was so heartwarming. It was a shock to realize that this was the first outdoor Mayfest that we have had in many years. Thank you to the amazing parents who donated their time to make this happen. Our school song references HW as the heart of the neighborhood. It really felt that way this weekend.
On Thursday, after the PTO Volunteer Thank You Breakfast in Mann Park, walk over to the school to meet the new D36 Superintendent, Dr. Kelly Tess, and share your thoughts and dreams for our District.
Tomorrow at 6:00 PM, Lynn White and I will be hosting an Incoming Kindergarten Open House for parents. We will give a quick overview of our program and a brief tour of a classroom. This is a parent-only event.
The second graders at HW are very excited to host the World's Greatest Student Store (WGSS) at the Spring Thing on June 1st. If possible, it would be greatly appreciated if smaller denominations of money (coins and $1.00 bills) were used to support and reinforce making change. Items will range between 10¢ and $1.50. We also will be capping purchases at $5.00 per person to ensure ample inventory for all customers. If there is anything left at the end of the event, we will make an all-call to clear all inventory. All proceeds will go to World Central Kitchen to support efforts in providing meals during humanitarian crises throughout the world. Thank you so much for your support and we cannot wait to see you at the Spring Thing!
We are collecting HW library books. Please look around your home for any library books and send them back with your children ASAP.
Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Beth Carmody
