GREAT START
What a wonderful week it has been! We are five days into the school year and the synergy is remarkable. Our kindergarten students are learning their way and our older Huskies are being great leaders in our building.
Your child may have come home talking about Pride Packs. Pride Packs are new this year.
What are Pride Packs: School wide vertical groups involving all staff and students in K-5. Packs are comprised of students from all grade levels. Students will stay with their pack through the completion of 5th grade.
When are Pride Packs: Tuesday afternoons except for late start days, for about 20 minutes. There will be NO Pride Pack on late Start Tuesdays because on these days we will have our Husky Huddles to start the day.
Why Pride Packs: The purpose of the Pride Packs are to build school community and sense of belonging. We encompass character building, team building, social skills, and Husky Pride.

YEARBOOK
The Hoover PTA would like to put together a committee of volunteers for the Yearbook! Having a committee or team to work on this project will make it much easier and less of a burden on just one individual! Putting the yearbook together is a lot of fun and super easy, thanks the design program! If you like to scrapbook, or enjoy photography or putting together digital photo books, then you will love this! If you are interested in being on the committee, please contact the PTA mankatohoooverpta@gmail.com
