The Blooming Ball Update
We will update as more information becomes available.
PTO Update on Pepperoni Roller Fundraiser
Hello all! We are very sad to announce the cancellation of our Pepperoni Roller Fundraiser.
Due to current events we don’t believe the logistics will work since we are unsure of what the rest of the school year holds. Please return all money collected. If you have already turned money into the school we will make sure it gets returned. Please let us know if you have any questions. Have a happy and safe extended spring break!
Design Challenge
Lorax
The Lorax was trying to help the environment by saving the Truffula trees. Think of a way that you and your classmates could help improve our environment (save water, recycle, plant trees, etc.) and design a poster to promote your idea. This can be turned in April 6th as well.
Hebron Facebook
We would love for our parents to share any links or ideas they are doing at home during the next three weeks with their children!

We will all get through this together and we appreciate our Hebron families!
