Welcome back from Spring Break! Whether you spent it near or far, we hope everyone had a chance to relax and enjoy.
Hubbard Woods had a very exciting delivery prior to break. Our new desk for the WGST studio arrived! All 4th graders experience WGST (World's Greatest Student Television) where they learn to serve as an anchor, meteorologist, producer and director to create a news broadcast each morning. HW students watch these broadcasts daily and look forward to when it's their opportunity to take part in this truly unique and special HW experience. We're especially grateful to Gary Wendt and Elisa Gutierrez (our amazing WGST teacher leaders), HW parents for supporting the PTO so we could fund this purchase, and Colleen Crutchfield (HW parent) for her graphic design work to create an awesome new logo. This new addition to the studio will enhance the WGST experience for many students and for many years to come!
These last nine weeks of the school year are packed with many events and will go fast! Please be sure to read all communications from the PTO and your Room Parents carefully so you don't miss out on all the fun!
