❤️🤍💙 THE WALL OF HONOR IS BACK! 💙🤍❤️

We are excited to bring back our famous Wall of Honor in our NEW elementary building! We would love to fill it with photos honoring the Veterans and active-duty service members who are part of our H-LP family and community.

📸 Please send us a photo of a Veteran or someone currently serving in our military so we can add them to our Wall of Honor!

If you have submitted a photo in the past, don't worry — we still have those photos! We are hoping to collect photos that we can proudly display and keep for years to come as a lasting tribute to those who have served and continue to serve our country.

Let's make our Wall of Honor something truly special! ❤️🇺🇸

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to all Veterans for your courage, service, and sacrifice. We are honored to celebrate with you!

Please send photos with your students to give to their teachers or send them to any of the following committee members!

🍂 TK's First Book Party of the Year! 📚

Our TK students celebrated their first Book Party of the school year! Thanks to the generosity of some wonderful supporters who want to inspire a love of reading, each student will receive six books throughout the school year to enjoy and keep!

Our first featured book was Little Acorn! 🌳 Students learned about the life cycle of an oak tree, practiced counting with acorns, and created their very own acorn suncatchers!

What a fun way to combine reading, learning, and creativity! 📖🍁
