HORIZON'S SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER 2023
HERE IS WHAT IS HAPPENING THIS MONTH AT HORIZON
Happy Fall Y'all!
As the cool mornings of September blow in it brings with it so many wonderful opportunities for school and family activities. Everything from Friday night football, fall decorations, changing leaves on the trees and the anticipation of changing seasons.
However, with those changes it also brings the cold and flu season. This is a reminder to have your student stay healthy and happy getting enough rest this busy time of year, eating nutritious meals and washing their hand regularly with good old soap and water to keep those germs away!
We love see those happy and healthy smiles come through the door every morning. Attendance at school is a very important part of your child's education so can learn and grow without missing valuable classroom instruction!
We look forward to meeting this quarter's attendance goal of 94% with our Horizon student's so they can celebrate a "Fun in the Sun" themed activity to send off summer!
Let's have a great month!ππ
