Dear Hygiene Community,

I hope this message finds you well! As we embark on a new school year, I am filled with gratitude and excitement for the journey ahead. We’ve had a fantastic start to the year, and it’s wonderful to see the enthusiasm and energy of our students, staff, and families. In addition, we had a fantastic PTO meeting on Wednesday night and it was great to see so many parents come out and hear the exciting events we have in store this year for our students.

Looking ahead, September is going to be an exciting month filled with events that bring our community together. We are planning our annual Jogathon, a cherished tradition that not only promotes fitness but also fosters school spirit. The Jogathon will be September 26th. Additionally, we are looking forward to our Fall Fest, a fun-filled event that celebrates the season and provides an opportunity for us all to connect and enjoy some quality time together. This will be October 4th.

I would like to take a moment to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible PTO. Thanks to everyone’s donations, we are thrilled to announce that every student at Hygiene Elementary now has access to i-Ready licenses for both reading and math. This is a significant achievement that will greatly support our students’ learning and growth. It truly is a testament to the unwavering commitment and generosity of our entire community.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in making Hygiene Elementary a wonderful place for our students to learn and grow. I look forward to seeing you all at our upcoming events and working together to make this school year a great success!

Take Care,

Renee Collier
