When I was a kid, my parents always said April Showers Bring May flowers (And the Mayflower brings the pilgrims).

These past few years, it feels like the month of May offers unknown and inconsistent weather patterns with the flowers blooming late May or early June. In any case, we wanted to thank our families and volunteers for your flexibility as we navigated tricky weather in postponing Field Days twice! Thankfully, even with a few drizzle drops, we were able to get Field Day events in so the kids could enjoy time with classmates playing cooperative games with Mr. Dunk and our student and parent volunteers.

Many classrooms and grade levels have some special events planned to end the school year. Make sure to reach out to your child’s teacher to keep up to date with special events and opportunities to help. We appreciate your continued partnership and look forward to the last two and a half weeks as we apply the many things we have learned while also developing more skills for success when looking ahead to our future schooling.

Due to the pending weather forecast and the recent cloud shift to have the rain linger longer into the morning, we are going to postpone the 3^rd Grade Field Day to Monday, May 19. We apologize for any inconvenience this creates. Please know we understand some families take time from work and many of our volunteers may not be able to now be on hand to assist. However, in the best interest of safety for all students, we feel it is best to make this change.

Thank you for your understanding!

Who Should Attend: Community members who are working with youth in the grieving process, families that are going through the grieving process, or people who have experienced a recent loss or those that anticipate a loss. 

Tuesday, May 13 from 6:30 – 8 p.m. @ Hempfield High School. Enter by the Franklin Office, off of Stanley Avenue, Door A4.

Third grade had an amazing assembly this past Wednesday! Mr. Walters presented several science experiments to go along with their Energy and Matter unit in science. We learned about how molecules work in the states of matter. Two favorite experiments were the Rocket, where a huge flame came out of a bottle and the liquid nitrogen experiment, which gave our students a fog experience.

If you have a preschool-aged child, you may be interested in learning more about the HHS Preschool Lab Program for the 2025-26 school year. WE only have a few spots remaining!
