First Branch News!
Welcome back from Spring Break! We are excited to see all our students and faculty tomorrow. We launched our Hulbert K-8 experience part one on April 21st by hosting our K-2nd grade Outdoor Center Experience at Tunbridge Central School. Students worked together in multi-age groups to celebrate and continue to work on our ROAD (Read, Open-Minded, Allied, and Determined) values. We look forward to our 3rd-8th grade experiences still to come.
Hulbert Outdoor Center Update 3rd-4th:
A blackboard notification went out on today about the paperwork due back for students. Hardcopies will go home with all 3rd-4th graders tomorrow. We need these forms back by Wednesday. Please and thank you!
Hulbert Outdoor Center Update 5-8th:
Our middle school students (grades 5-8) are earning their spot on an overnight Hulbert experience on May 25th and 26th. We are currently looking for additional adult chaperones to join us on this experience. In order to chaperone you will need a completed volunteer form and picture of your driver's license on file in our office.
