A Message from the Principal
Join us tonight, Friday, April 12th at the Tustin High School vs Foothill High School baseball game at Angel Stadium at 6:30 pm. The Tustin Unified PTA Coordinating Council will be recognizing our PTA Volunteer of the Year, Jessica Howell. We will also be recognizing our community partner, Tilly's Life Center, an organization that has provided SEL (Social Emotional Learning) resources to our students. Parking and admission is free and open to our entire TUSD Community. Please join us for a fun night and the opportunity to cheer on our Knights!
Are you interested in supporting Hewes PTA? Consider volunteering for a few events as we close out the school year. On Thursday, May 9th attend the Staff vs Student basketball game. There will be food trucks starting at 5pm and the game will start at 6pm with a halftime raffle all in support of funding our many programs sponsored by PTA. Volunteers will be needed so please consider helping. Health Week sponsored by PTA is May 13 - 17 and we are in search of community members who can share their experiences and expertise with mental and physical health. There are flyers and contact information in this newsletter so please consider how you can support our school.
