It's National School Lunch Week! We are so lucky here at HBCS to have a fantastic lunch program free to all PreK-12 students.
While school lunch is free this year, it is still crucial for our families to complete and return the Free/Reduced application since it impacts so many other funding sources. If you haven't done so yet, you can print a copy here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRbBJU9oPR9niBqOcFr8GvCEcRuUFX3YAbMoefYn1kSCY1TKmIaW3EvGBz65mPVIFncWTFG83lhUD0f/pub or stop in and visit our secretaries to get a printed copy!
It is a busy week of parent-teacher conferences, the book fair, and PSAT/SAT testing!

Our kindergarten class is part of an alphabet exchange this year. 26 kindergarten classrooms from around the country are participating. Each class is assigned a letter and turns that letter into a craft starting with that letter. Our students turned the letter K into kings. Each class also writes a letter sharing information about their school, class and town. Our letters and kings have been sent out across the country and we have started to receive letters back. We have the letter J from a school in New Jersey, Y from a school in Illinois, X from a school in Tennesse and G from a school in Mississippi! We can't wait to get the rest of the alphabet!
Are you a fan of delicious, quick, and easy meals? We have a great opportunity for you! Check out the Middle School Mackinac Island field trip fundraiser. Help a middle school student pay for their trip and get some of the famous Little Caesar's Pizza Kits at the same time!
