Happy February! We are halfway through the school year! Hemlock has been buzzing with excitement. Parents have been coming in for birthdays, star students, crafts, and more. The children are enjoying school each day. We thank everyone for all of their efforts and dedication!
The children are all very excited for the special days we have this month. Each year the PTA funds a cultural trip for all first graders in the district. This year, the students from Homestead, Hemlock, and Locust had the opportunity to see The Gruffalo’s Child on Feb. 5th at the Tilles Center.
On Tuesday, February 11th, PARP invites all primary and elementary school families to a virtual visit with author Dennis Matthew at 7pm. He will be reading “How Grizzly Found Gratitude” and students can follow along with their own copy that was gifted to them by the PTA earlier in the school year.

Valentine’s Day is a holiday loved by our children. Please refer to info from your child’s teacher about sending in class Valentines.
The 100th Day of School, on Monday, February 24th, is quickly approaching as well. Families are invited to join in on the celebration by decorating a shirt with your child at home - please check Mrs. Odone’s Parent Square messages for additional details.
Please also save the date for our annual PTA Dinner Fundraiser: Wednesday, March 26th at 6:30pm. Thank you to those who donated towards the grade level raffle baskets. We hope you’ll join us for a fun night at the Garden City Hotel. More information on this to come!
Wishing you all a safe and healthy winter break!
