Travel to Indonesia with World Travelers!
Join us as World Travelers takes Hubbard Woods on a journey to Indonesia with HW parent, Lousia Balach! Students will learn fun facts about the tropical country including the best places to visit, its role in the discovery of the Americas, and meet some really cute, but endangered, animals.
There is no need to sign up for World Travelers, as all students will have an opportunity to view the presentation in class. Students can test their new knowledge by filling out the WT quiz and returning it to their teacher. Anyone who submits a completed quiz will be entered in a raffle to win a special prize!
Want to join in on the fun at home? Click on the links below to:
Thanks to all for joining us as we reimagine World Travelers this year! Any questions? Contact Hubbard Woods PTO.

Mark Your Calendars for the "Spring Thing!"
Another beloved Hubbard Woods tradition is back this year, newly reimagined! The 2nd graders were a bit confused with everyone calling it "Spring Showcase," "Spring Arts Festival," "Spring Sing", so they decided it should be called a "Spring Thing!"
The Spring Thing is an arts festival, with each grade performing specially themed songs, an art gallery, DJ Booth and the second grade General Store. The Spring Thing will be held on Wednesday, June 1,
from 5:30 to 7:30 PM on the Hubbard Woods School Playground. Click HERE for info and an event schedule from Music Teacher, Mr. Wendt.

Two Important Messages about Kiddos Lunch
Please note that Kiddos lunch credits DO NOT roll to next school year, so use any credits now!
Kiddos learned their restaurant partner, Red Rooster, had to unexpectedly close their doors and will no longer be able to provide lunches for their remaining lunch dates.
If you had a lunch ordered from Red Rooster, please be sure to bring a lunch from home! Upcoming dates that are cancelled are Tuesdays: May 10, 24, 31, and June 7.
Contact Kiddos with any questions regarding cancelled orders.

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month!
Paws for Patrick is helping break the stigma surrounding mental health by Turning Our Towns Green this May, for National Mental Health Awareness Month. You may see green ribbons and signs outside school and around town in May.
More than 22 communities across the Chicagoland area will decorate trees with green ribbons to show continual community support and awareness of Mental Health.
Paws for Patrick is a 501c3 organization dedicated to connecting young people with Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) & Therapy Dogs to aid them as they live with mental illness. Utilizing their unique Wish Granter & Therapy Dog programs, they provide the funds and resources to bring the love of animals to the people who need it most.
Paws for Patrick was founded by the Roemer family of Lake Forest in memory of their son, Patrick, who lived with depression and anxiety for most of his young life.
