HHH January 24, 2024
Dear Happy Hollow Families,
Today is the 90th day of school! We cannot believe we are halfway through the school year. This moment offers a wonderful opportunity to reflect on all the growth, learning, and connections our students have made so far.
From exploring new ideas in the classroom to developing friendships and navigating challenges, the first half of the year has been filled with accomplishments worth celebrating. As we look ahead to the second half, we are excited to continue building on this momentum and supporting every student’s journey of discovery and success.
Thank you for your partnership and encouragement, which make all the difference in creating a nurturing and inspiring learning environment for our children. We can’t wait to see what the remainder of the year holds!
Warmly,
Nicolette Foundas, Happy Hollow Principal
