On Wednesday, August 20th, let's show our support for our Hill Country friends by wearing green. As we all know, the Hill Country suffered significant losses on July 4th, and Hunt ISD was one of the areas hardest hit. So much so, they had to postpone starting school until the 20th of this week. In honor of their strength and struggles over the last month and a half, let's all wear green and show our support for our fellow Texans from afar.

Last week for summer reading logs! Turn them into the classroom teacher or library by the end of this week: August 22! All numbers must be turned into the district by August 25th. Thank you!

It's Shark Pup time!! Sign up asap--deadline is Aug 20th! 🦈

PreK is having fun with play dough while working our fine motor skills & recognizing letters in our names. 🫶🏼🤩

To cure the first day scaries, Mrs. Smith's 3rd graders completed a "Get To Know Your Classmates" scavenger hunt! So fun!
