What happened to Fall? As the snow fell on Sunday and we head into a short week with MEA break, I continued to be amazed by just how fast time seems to move at Peter Hobart. Over the past couple of weeks our students have engaged in some unique learning opportunities outside of our building. Some of our students experienced Westwood Nature Center, The Ordway, Stages Theatre, and Camp Ihduhapi. It is wonderful to be able to have multiple pathways for learning and our students embraced these wholeheartedly.
As we will be completing our first six weeks of school together, I am proud of the ways that we have worked together as a school community. Students, staff and families are building strong relationships and the intentional time spent on this is early on will no doubt serve our students, and all of us, well throughout the year. Thank you for your continued partnership and I wish you all a safe MEA break this Thursday and Friday.
Peter Hobart Proud,
Kari Schwietering
Principal
