Happy Spring! It's hard to believe it’s April. I hope you all had a nice Easter Recess and were able to enjoy some downtime with your families.
We had a very exciting month at Hemlock. The classes enjoyed going on field trips, and parents had the opportunity to meet with the teachers at Parent Teacher Conferences. Hemlock students enjoyed Rocking their Crazy Socks in support of World Down Syndrome Day, and thank you for the impressive turnout at our Joint Primary PTA meeting!
We also wanted to thank the members of the Pick A Reading Partner (PARP) committee, led by Alyssa Vitez and Hana Noble, for arranging an amazing variety of literary activities over the past 5 months culminating in March’s PARP Reading Week. Congratulations to the students who read the most reading minutes!
We closed out the month honoring the Reflections Winners at the Districtwide Reflections Award Ceremony on March 27th. Congratulations again to our Hemlock winners - Violet Ianucci, Ryan Peeples, Ella Lau, Claire Berbari, and Alessandra Ziniti.
As the spring weather comes in to stay, preparation of the Hemlock garden is underway! Thank you to those of you who contributed to the Sign Up Genius for the supplies needed. Stay tuned to hear about some fun ways your children can contribute to the garden beautification.
Jill Berbari and the Hemlock PTA Library Committee have been helping Ms. Compton re-shelve library books regularly and will continue to do so until the end of the year. Thank you to the committee members for volunteering your time for our school!
If you haven’t already done so, don’t miss the opportunity to check one thing off your to-do list and order your school supplies for NEXT school year. Please also share this link with any incoming Kindergarten friends that are entering the district. Enter code GAR054 to shop. The deadline to order is April 12th.
The PTA Dinner was a huge success! We hope you all had a fun evening. It was special to be able to honor former Hemlock principal, Audrey Bellovin, as one of the recipients of the PTA Honorary Lifetime Membership award at the dinner. Thank you to all of you who supported the PTA’s biggest fundraiser of the year!
There will be a Primary Literacy and Mathematics Fun Night from 5-6pm on Tuesday, April 30th at Homestead. Parents and children are invited to attend teacher-led games & workshops designed to equip parents with strategies to support learning.
We will be having our Staff Appreciation Luncheon on Thursday, May 16th. Please look out for a SignUpGenius that will have ways you can support the luncheon.
As always, thank you all so very much for your support to the Garden City PTA!
Warmly,
Kristen Whitaker
Hemlock PTA Director
