Teacher Appreciate Week - May 8-12 will be a week of fun events for our amazing teachers and staff!  Our PTO is working hard to plan something for each day school wide.  Your room parents will also be reaching out per class.  Currently on Tuesday May 9^th we plan to ask all students to bring in a flower for their teacher.  We will have vases in all classrooms.  This can literally be a stem that is picked on the way to school, nothing crazy.  The goal is to create a collective bouquet from all the students in each class for their teacher.

Digital Wellness - Fourth and Fifth Grade Parents, Hopewell Elementary PTO and the Digital Wellness Initiative invite you to join us on May 11th at 6 pm in the Hopewell Elementary Media Center for "Parenting And Technology: What Do I Need to Know?" Pediatrician and former HES parent, Suze Palinski will discuss technology's effects on things like sleep, mental health, and social skill development. Are screen time or technology use leading to frustration in your family? Come hear what resources are available, what's worked for other families, what Timberlane Middle School faculty and administrators are concerned about, and what steps you can take to raise kids whose use of technology (gaming, devices, social media and the internet) is healthy, intentional and safe.
