Hello Hatzic Families,

We had a wonderful week full of Husky Pride. Students in Grade 5 and 6 participated in the school districts Science Fair on Wednesday. Our students did an amazing job on their projects all about body systems. Thank you to everyone that came to view the projects today! Yesterday our school Volleyball teams showed awesome skills and sportsmanship at the Elementary Volleyball Tournament. GO Huskies!

Next week is supposed to be wet, please send your student dressed for the weather.
