HES Shark Scoop

A Message from Principal Cutone
May 24, 2024
Dear HES Community,
What a beautiful week it has been with our beloved spring book fair! Our Sharks always look forward to this event, and it's incredibly special to see parents and other caregivers coming to HES to help their children select books. Many, many thanks to our dedicated PTO volunteers who made this wonderful event possible.
If you came to the book fair, you know that parking can be difficult at HES. The Harwich Police Department has asked me to give you a gentle reminder that parking on the lawn in front of the school is prohibited, as indicated by the signs. Parking is available at the Cultural Center, which comes with the added benefit of extra steps on these beautiful spring days.
This morning, we met as a whole community for our All Shark Meeting. This month’s ambassadors used skits and posters to teach the rest of the school about the importance of good citizenship. Our Sharks learned that belonging to a group makes you a citizen of that group. Furthermore, citizenship comes with certain rights and responsibilities, which make our families, schools, and communities safer and better places to live, learn, and grow. It was a wonderful morning of celebration, song, and learning.
I wish all of you a happy and healthy long weekend. May you enjoy this gorgeous weather that unofficially kicks off the summer season. Please let me know how I can be of service to you and your family.
All my best,
Christie
