Dear HunneBates,

As we approach the Thanksgiving season, I want to reflect on our special community.  First of all, thank you to our families for entrusting us with the education and care of your children.  I am so proud of our students’ hard work and their positive contributions to our community.  I celebrate their curiosity, creativity and joy.

I am grateful to work alongside the thoughtful and dedicated educators at HunneBates.  Their passion and commitment make all the difference for our students.

I wish you all a holiday that includes family, friends and much warmth and joy.  As a reminder, we will dismiss for the Thanksgiving break at noon on Wednesday and resume school on Tuesday, November 28.  Please note that on Monday, November 27 there is no school for the district wide Professional Day.

Warmly,

Toni Jolley
