Today our 1st grade students presented Lisa Spivey, of Little Paws Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, with the $575 they raised from selling candy grams in December. The students voted to donate the money raised to an animal rescue. Students were excited to learn about what Lisa does and how the money they raised will help her help animals. Thank you to everyone who purchased a candy gram and the volunteers who helped them make the candy grams.

Yesterday, out Kindergarten students and teachers celebrated all they have learned over the past 100 days of school!

Thank you to our HCPS Green Team for coming to talk to our first-grade students about composting. Students worked together to create a compost jar. They will use the compost as a long-term investigation and then when they plant seeds and plants later this spring. We can't wait to see what grows! #HCPSgreenteam
