Harvey-Swanson News

Dear HSE families,

I'm so thankful for all of you! Thank you for all of the ways you support us as we support you and your children. Thank you to our PTA and any parents who helped provide those wonderful lunches during conference week. Teachers said that they loved connecting with their parents and students during our virtual parent teacher conferences last week. Thank you for supporting us as we support you and your children. We are so proud of our students' progress!

Our staff has worked hard to plan a fun virtual version of our annual Family Literacy Night. Come join us for a virtual family literacy event! The JK-2nd grade event is Tuesday so be sure to check out the flyer and mark your calendar. You will find the Zoom links in the PDF.

This week we will focus on Love of Learning! Click here for a one page overview of this strength.

What it means...

Having a love of learning means you enjoy learning just for the fun of learning!

Why it matters...

People who have a love of learning are happy when they are learning and when we are happy learning, we learn more.
