H-BC Families:
Greetings!
We are full swing into the month of November! I’m having a great November! Our students are the best! Thank you for sharing them with us at H-BC Elementary! Remember we continue to have boiler issues…temps have been steady in the mid to upper 60s. We may have to adjust our schedule on the fly. Make sure your student is dressed in layers. Thank you so much for understanding.
