HYMAN FINE NEWS FLASH
June 10, 2023
Good afternoon Hyman Fine Families,
I cannot believe we are only days away from the end of the 2022 - 2023 school year. This will be the final edition of the News Flash this school year.
Field day was a huge success. Thank you Mr. Whitaker and Mr. Colantonio, ALL of our parent volunteers, HFES staff, and our PTO for making field day such a fun day for our students. We did have some bumps in the road around lunch but overall a HUGE success. I apologize again for any inconvenience or confusion caused by the rain impact on our lunch schedule.
As we wind down to our final week, I wanted to thank the Hyman Fine community for such a wonderful school year.
Class placements will be shared in August through the ASPEN Family Portal.

4th Grade Promotion Ceremony
In order to fit all classes in the auditorium, I am asking families to try to limit the number of guests attending the celebration.
HFES siblings will not be sent to the auditorium to attend the promotion ceremony.
If your child has medication in the nurse's office, please put a reminder in your calendar to pick it up prior to dismissal on June 15th.
STUDNETS IN GRADES 2-4 WILL BE TAKING THEIR CHROMEBOOKS HOME FOR THE SUMMER.
HFES SUMMER READING CHALLENGE
What is the challenge? Read 30 picture books with an adult throughout the summer. Color a book for each one you read on the sheet provided and return it to school in the fall for a small prize!
Why?
Reading aloud to kids:
● Builds empathy
● Creates a lifelong love of reading
● Improves language and listening skills
● Activates imagination
● IS SO MUCH FUN!!!!
How?
The Attleboro Public Library has so many books to choose from plus students can earn incentives through their summer reading program by reading for this challenge. Books are also available online! Link below to a digital library with books read in multiple languages. We would love to see students reading over the summer.
Use the Google Form below if you’d like to send us photos of your child reading! Please note that by sending us photos you give us permission to share.
