Principal's Message

Dear Hutton Families,

It’s remarkable to see how quickly the months are passing us by. Yet, despite the swift pace, our Hutton community—students and staff alike—continues to engage deeply and work very hard. The remaining months are bustling with a variety of activities and events, promising not just learning but also fun and community bonding.

I'm thrilled to remind you of our upcoming Family Literacy Night this Tuesday, April 17th from 5:00-7:00 PM. We have planned an evening brimming with engaging activities, and we're excited to welcome special guests who are former Hutton alumni. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate literacy and give back to the community—please consider bringing a book to donate to Kiwanis and you’ll have the chance to swap it for a new-to-you book. If you've RSVP'd for dinner, it will be served right at 5:00 PM. Prepare to dive into various fun activities like creating tracks for Hot Wheels cars, taking apart toys, explore biomimicry, playing card games, enjoying big books, learning new soccer skills, and much more!

Additionally, Monday, April 22nd marks Earth Day, an important celebration of our planet that began in 1970, thanks to Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin. This day is dedicated to raising awareness, educating, and taking action to preserve our environment. This year, we encourage everyone to participate in Bike to School Week. By choosing to walk or ride your bike, we can collectively work towards reducing emissions and minimizing our carbon footprint. This small step is a wonderful way to honor Earth Day and contribute to environmental preservation.

Lastly, please note that State Testing will commence Monday, April 29th-June 7th for students in grades 3-5. It's crucial that students are present and punctual to ensure they participate fully in their testing sessions. More specific information will be forthcoming from your child's teachers regarding the testing schedule.

Thank you for your ongoing support and enthusiasm. Together, we make Hutton not just a school, but a vibrant community dedicated to growth and excellence.
