Dear HNPS Families,
This afternoon we came together as a community by coming together in prayer. Pope Francis has called for the Faithful to pray the rosary during the month of May to pray for an end to the pandemic. Classrooms have prayed individually during the week and this afternoon we prayed together as a school community. Mrs. Buckley and some of our 5th graders led a decade of the rosary over the PA that our whole community participated in.

Throughout the year, we’ve looked for ways for our community to come together while remaining physically separate. With the imminent changes in the state and recent announcements by the Department of Education, we anticipate and look forward to being able to gather as a community more next year. With each passing day, we are continually encouraged that the end of the pandemic is drawing near and look forward to a more typical school year next year. 

Once this year concludes, we will weigh any applicable guidance to schools and develop our operating plans for next year accordingly. 

We look forward to honoring our 6th graders next week at their Graduation Ceremony.

Enjoy the long weekend.

Best regards,

Mr. Chisholm
