Dear Hunnewell Families,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy Valentine\u2019s Day! Today, our hearts are full, and our smiles are bright thanks to the joy your children bring to our school. We had some fun this morning learning from our KL students that there are “No smooches allowed\u2026 except for Mom!” \u2014 Sorry, Dads!<\/p>\n

On a fun note\u2014did you know that Mrs. McGrath is secretly a fantastic hip-hop dancer? When she (hopefully NEVER) retires from teaching, she could try out for America’s Got Talent<\/em>\u2014and win! Floor Lords (a. teaching dance troupe) was here today! They helped us understand how important dancing and music are to our well-being. Simply…it’s fun!<\/p>\n

As our Great Adventure reaches a little rest stop, I encourage you all to take a well-deserved break. If you\u2019re traveling, please stay safe, and if you\u2019re sticking around Wellesley, please stay safe. Most of all, I hope you find time to relax and enjoy these special moments with your loved ones.<\/p>\n

Thank you for sharing your amazing children with us each day and for your ongoing commitment and partnership in our common goal of making Hunnewell a place of learning for all.<\/p>\n

As we move forward, let hope guide your steps\u2014hope for every child’s future, for the difference you continue to make, and for the endless possibilities ahead.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite movies, The Shawshank Redemption<\/em>, offers a powerful reminder: \u201cHope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.\u201d May our shared hope continue to light the path for every child, every day.<\/p>\n

Dare to Dream,<\/p>\n
