Hembree Highlights
April 2, 2021
Note from Mrs. Smith
It is here! Spring Break is here. At my house, getting up has been harder and wearing a clean mask seems equivalent to climbing Mt. Everest some days. You did it! You get a little break. Not all parents get to take off work, but I hope that each of you finds a way to recharge. I hope that each of you makes memories with your family. I hope that safety comes during this time as well. Unfortunately, COVID has not disappeared, so I am wishing you all safety and health.
Please be sure to check the parent information sessions that we have in April. Also be aware that Georgia Milestones testing is around the corner for grades 3-5. Don't fret over any of this now. Go enjoy spring break and we will see you VIRTUALLY April 12!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Stay Strong! Stay Positive! Stay Well!
Sincerely,
AJ Smith
