Thank you parents and PTO for the amazing conference week!!

Dear Hygiene Families,

Thank you for making this week’s Parent-Teacher Conferences such a meaningful and successful time for our school community. We are so grateful for your partnership, your time, and your thoughtful conversations with our teachers. When families and educators come together with a shared focus on students, truly powerful things happen for children.

I also want to extend a heartfelt thank you for the incredible generosity you showed our staff by providing meals for three evenings this week. Those dinners made a long week feel lighter and reminded our teachers how deeply supported and appreciated they are. Your kindness and care do not go unnoticed.

We are so fortunate to serve such an engaged and supportive community. Thank you for walking alongside us in your child’s learning journey.

We hope everyone enjoys a restful and joyful four-day weekend. Wishing you all a very Happy Valentine’s Day filled with love and connection.

With gratitude,
Renee Collier
Principal
Hygiene Elementary School

We are in our second week of the 5210 plus challenge.   I have my log posted on my fridge at home as a reminder to check in daily.   It also creates some entertaining family discussions around the dinner table.   A great way to get your hour of activity each day is to try a new park each week.  It is a fun way to enjoy the community that we live in.   

Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day,

Ms. Newell
