HOMESTEAD SCHOOL NEWS

Happy May Homestead community!  There is so much excitement in the air, with all the spring activities and beautiful weather.  Our Spring Sing is this week.  I am sure that we are all so very happy to see our little ones performing together.  It is certainly something we will never take for granted.  Please remember to bring your blankets to sit on, IDs, masks and smiles.  

We will be having our Annual Staff Appreciation (Grab and Go) Luncheon this month. The theme will be “Thank You For Going to Infinity and Beyond For Us!”. This is our opportunity to show the staff at Homestead just how very much we appreciate them, especially this year. Please look out for a Sign Up Genius link, where you will be able to donate to this event. This event is always so successful thanks to all of the wonderfully generous Homestead families.  A special craft will also be sent home for the children to create for their teachers.

The PTA is so happy to announce that a grant was approved for Primary School Mindfulness Resources. They will be used to support our primary staff as they focus on improving student wellness, teaching mindfulness, and supporting emotional regulation.   We are able to provide such wonderful things for the children all thanks to the support the PTA receives each year through the membership dues paid by our members.  We sincerely thank you for your support.

This month the budget vote takes place at the High School. The PTA supports voting “Yes!” for the budget. Please see the main PTA newsletter for more information about the upcoming vote, budget chats with Dr. Sinha and Board of Education meetings. We will once again be conducting our Homestead student vote online! Keep an eye out for more information about this super fun vote!  The children are going to LOVE it!

PARP is hosting a Mental Health Awareness Read Aloud on May 6th at 7 PM.   “Reading Minutes Tracking” will be taking place May 17-27. Please see the main newsletter for more information about these events!

Our final All-Schools PTA meeting will take place on May 11th at 7:30 PM,virtually.
