HOMESTEAD SCHOOL NEWS

Happy December!  Homestead had such a wonderful month of November!  Everyone had the opportunity to show just how thankful they are. The teachers loved their Thankful Booklets!  It truly brightened their Thanksgiving.  The children enjoyed doing all of the fun and creative Thanksgiving activities with their teachers and classes and were so proud of the crafts that they brought home.

We kicked off PARP with a great virtual Author Visit that was very well attended and received rave reviews!  PARP will be ongoing throughout the year, so be on the lookout for fun activities. Thank you so much to our PARP committee for all of their hard work to reimagine what PARP looks like this year!  What a fabulous job you have all done.

We are so very proud of all of our students who submitted entries for the Reflections Contest. Thank you so much to the Reflections Committee for all of their dedication to making this such a successful program.  

We would like to congratulate the following students for their wonderful work in Visual Arts:  

First Place: Nastassia Bizzarro

Second Place:  Roger Woodward

Third Place: James Trongard

Honorable Mention: Jack Livingston

I would like to thank our Decorating Committee for gearing up to decorate the outside of Homestead for the Winter Season.  The decorating will be finished by the end of the week.  We sincerely appreciate the generosity of so many families that donated decorations.  We hope that this festive entryway will help bring holiday cheer to the students, staff and families of the Homestead community.
