Heart of Hartman
November 13-17
The Cool Cats Had a Great Week!
It was an honor to represent Hartman Elementary in D.C. this week! What does it mean to be "blue"? It means that every child crosses home. We have an amazing team of teachers that work tirelessly to ensure that each Cool Cat has all the tools to be successful. It means that we have students that have grit and don't give up when things get hard. It means that we have parents that help prepare students by establishing a solid foundation. It means that our PTA spends many hours thinking of ways to partner with us so that all children will receive the very best. It means that we have community partners that believe in us and work with us to mentor as well as support innovation.
My favorite quote from the event was from Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Education - " A school is just a building; your care and your love make what happens there special."
Thanks,
