Our 5th and 6th graders are starting electives this week. Mrs. Fischer will be teaching a woodworking elective in which they will be building benches. Their intention is to make 12 benches, 10 of which have been requested by HPS staff. They would like to donate two benches to the PTO for the auction in the spring!
Help Needed: We need to borrow quick release woodworking clamps. We need a variety of sizes, particularly long ones. We also need to borrow drills. Our class is from 12:45-2 each Friday. Families can drop off labeled tools each Friday and pick them up at the end of the day. The are also welcome to volunteer with our class. Interested families should contact me, Kate Fischer, fischka@cpsboe.k12.oh.us, to coordinate.

Ok, yikes, it looks like our crayons have too much time on their hands!! And our Beloved Art Teacher, Mrs. Best, Crayon't take it anymore! In a world with so much screen time, the victims aren't just the crayons, but also our kids' fine motor skills! Because gone are the days when coloring was a go-to time filler. But Mrs. Best is here to help! Do you have extra coloring books or coloring sheets laying around?? If so, please drop them off at the Main Office labeled for Mrs. Best! This way, students who have completed their art projects and have extra time during art class, can color their hearts out!

Our youngest students are in need of some assistance during lunchtime. Tasks like opening cheese sticks, yogurt lids, and even putting straws in drink boxes can be challenging to little hands. If you could spare 30 minutes of your time, please join our lunch period to help make the most of this important time! You will need to check in at the main office at 10:00am and will then be directed to the cafeteria. |
