I hope you all are enjoying this beautiful weather. I attended a bridal shower this morning and a 9-year-old birthday party this afternoon. I was so happy that it was so gorgeous out. 

We had Kindness Week last week. Please check out our school's social media to see some of the excellent videos and activities. Then, we wrapped up our week with a pep rally. We recognized our fall sports and other groups, as well as our spring sports.

I cannot believe February has already come and gone! Thank you to everyone who came out to the curriculum nights. I hope you found it informative. As promised, the presentations are on the Bumpus website. Here is the link to the upcoming 7th and 8th-grade presentation. Curriculum Night

On March 3, we will be having “Moving Up Day.” The incoming 6th-grade students will come from the elementary schools, and then our current 6th and 7th-grade students will meet their future teachers. It should be a fun morning.

Our wonderful PTO has built a wonderful teacher workspace for breaks and meetings. They are almost ready to unveil it!! If you are led to contribute and buy some goodies for the teachers for this space, here is the link. Consider it an early Teacher Appreciation Gift. This is just a small token of appreciation for our teachers and staff. https://a.co/03wl55D6

This is a parent survey that HCS and ALSDE send out every year. It asks about the school's culture and climate. Your feedback is essential and helps us improve. Please take the time to fill it out. One of the first things I did last summer was read the survey results. These results truly show us how to steer the ship. I appreciate your time in completing this survey. Survey

Please scroll through this whole newsletter for updates. We appreciate everyone's continued support. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email or call me.

With Pride,
