HSA November News





The HSA Board gives thanks to our amazing parent volunteers. Thank you for all that you do, for always stepping up to help, and for your vital contributions that create an environment where our students grow and thrive! We are so grateful for your meaningful participation. Happy Thanksgiving, and God bless you and your families.

We invite you to visit our Scholastic Book Fair, November 4th - 6th, and experience a celebration of reading that provides families the opportunity to get involved in a universal mission: encouraging kids to read every day so they can lead better lives. Our Book Fair theme – Reading Oasis: A Cool Place to Discover Hot Books! – takes students on a journey back to Ancient Egypt to an oasis overflowing with fun, engaging, and affordable books kids want to read.  If you’re all booked up during Book Fair week be sure to visit the Book Fair online. Look for the link on our Book Fair post at HSA Parents. Our Online Fair is available for an extended time from October 30th to November 19th. We look forward to having you participate in our Book Fair and remember all purchases benefit our school.
