Greetings, Hosmer Families,

Nest week is a short week of school due to the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Here at Hosmer, we are tremendously grateful for one another. Thank YOU for supporting our students and teachers. Our community is a wonderful one.

Thank you to the many families who have been participating in the food drive. We have already filled the shelves of the Community Fridge twice, and will likely do so two more times with what has already arrived. Thank you for supporting our community in this way.

Pie Pick-Up

Today is Pie Pick-Up Day! If you ordered pies to support end-of-year activities, they can be picked up between 2:30 and 6pm

Bookmobile

The Bookmobile will be in the parking lot afterschool today. It's a great day to pick up some books for the Thanksgiving break!
