Dear Hardy families,
I hope everyone had a restful vacation week!
Highlight from the week before vacation:
On Friday, we had our School Spirit Day for February.
Kindergarten students showing their Hardy spirit!
Students made Valentines for the residents at Elizabeth Seton during indoor recess. The residents were presented with the Valentines during their party and loved them.They have hung them on their walls and doors! We look forward to partnering with them again soon. Thank you to all the students that worked so hard on the Valentines. The residents were very appreciative. Here are some pictures.
Looking for WPS STEAM community experts
Wellesley Public Schools aims to engage STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) professionals from our immediate, and surrounding, communities to enhance teaching and learning in the Wellesley Public Schools. As a district, our goal is that all students are able to see themselves in STEAM during their careers in our schools, and one of the best ways to do that is for them to interact with STEAM professionals. If you are interested in becoming a WPS STEAM Community Expert, please fill out this form to share how you can best serve our community of learners and educators!
