Hello Hardy families,
Highlight from the past week:
*On Friday, we had our 5th grade planned Assigned Color Spirit Day
Third graders proudly sporting green
Administrators, teachers & staff members who work with multiple grade levels wearing pink
Staffing Updates
*Our dedicated school nurse Mrs. Sullivan has returned from her medical leave. We look forward to welcoming Mrs. Sullivan back to Hardy! With Mrs. Sullivan’s return, parents are once again encouraged to reach out to Mrs. Sullivan at sullivanc@wellesleyps.org with any health related questions or concerns.
*We have hired Ms. Maria Temple to serve as a teaching assistant in Mrs. Poole’s third grade classroom. Ms. Temple has previous teaching experience in Florida and returned to the Boston area to be closer to family. Please join me in welcoming Ms. Temple to Hardy!

Special Thanks
Thanks to the PTO for providing the teachers and staff with several gestures of appreciation this past week. From the snack cart to the Soup-er Bowl lunch, we felt the love from the Hardy families! One extra special treat came on Wednesday when we had Valentine’s Day themed goodies that were artfully displayed in the teachers’ room.
School Spirit Day
This upcoming Friday is our next School Spirit Day. Students are encouraged to wear their Hardy gear or red colored clothing to school. Go Huskies!
Have a great week and a great upcoming February vacation!
Respectfully yours,
Grant Smith
Principal
