Hot Topic Discussion - March 21 st  @ 6:00 pm in the Gymnasium - Coping with Test Anxiety  Does your child get worried about standardized testing?   Would you like to support your child through the testing process in April?   Our mental health partner agency, The Children’s Home of Cincinnati, will be providing an hour-long workshop for parents on the topic of test anxiety. The hour will be interactive, and participants will learn about the symptoms of test anxiety and how to empower yourself and your child to overcome this stress.   It will be led by Alison Savage, LPCC-S, who specializes in the treatment of children and adolescents.  She has been with The Children’s Home for over 7 years and is currently the Clinical and Professional Development Supervisor.   Please join us on Wednesday, March 21 from 6:00-7:00 in our school gym.

Restaurant Night at Chipotle is Tuesday, April 3 If you haven't been to a Restaurant Night yet, this is the one to save the date for because 50% of proceeds are given to HPS PTO! It's a burritoful thing!

Student Spotlight

HPS Girl Scouts started out with just one troop four years ago. This year, there are two new troops! We have kindergarten Daisies, 1st Grade Daisies, and our original troop of Brownies. This week, some of our Brownies met with our littlest Daisies for some fun Girl Scout songs and lessons!
