Message from the Principal
Dear Members of our Hygiene community,
As we approach the final stretch of the academic year, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and appreciation to the entire Hygiene community. We have worked together as a community to provide an elite education for our students. Because of everyone’s hard work, dedication, and a shared commitment to our students’ health and safety, we have succeeded in providing a nurturing and effective learning environment.
I am especially grateful for our Hygiene volunteers. Your dedication, generosity, and unwavering support have been essential to the success of our school. Whether you have helped out in the classroom, organized events, or provided assistance with administrative tasks, your selflessness and enthusiasm have made a significant difference in the lives of our students. Your commitment to our school community has truly been inspiring, and we are grateful for your willingness to give your time and energy to support our students and staff. Our annual capstone school wide event Hawk Air UK is right around the corner and we are still in need of volunteers throughout the week. This includes set up starting April 28th through tear down on May 5th. Our next planning meeting will be this upcoming Wednesday, April 12 at 5:30 pm. We welcome all volunteers to make this event a success for our students.
We also have the upcoming CMAS tests for grades 3-5 starting next week. While these tests are an important measure of our students’ academic progress, I want to emphasize that they do not define our students’ worth or potential. We are proud of the hard work and progress that our students have made this year, and we are confident in their abilities to continue to learn and grow.
I want to encourage our students to approach these tests with a positive attitude and to do their best. I also want to remind our community that our students’ success is not solely measured by their performance on these tests. We value and celebrate the diverse talents, interests, and achievements of each and every one of our students.
Thank you again for your dedication and hard work. Let us continue to work together to create a safe and nurturing learning environment for our students.
Sincerely,
Renee Collier
Principal – Hygiene Elementary
