A Message from the Principal
Hello Hobby and Hobby Magnet Family,
As we approach the final week of school, I wanted to remind you of a few important upcoming events. Our Field Days are scheduled for next week, providing students with a wonderful opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities and celebrate the end of the school year.
Please ensure your child is prepared with appropriate attire and any necessary items for a day of fun. Additionally, all Chromebooks and chargers must be returned before “Field Day.”
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation throughout this school year.

As Always,
You Matter!
Praise, Promote & Protect.

From the Magnet School Director
Thank you to everyone who donated cereal boxes. Our families generously donated 151 boxes of cereal. On Tuesday, Methodist Hospital will be coming to highlight our program as we create a domino display with the boxes to kick off their summer drive. Please have the students wear a Magnet shirt on Tuesday for our special guests. We will have a mini summer camp for 7th grade magnet students on August 7th during prep days. An email will be sent from Mrs. Heye with details.
Building update: They poured concrete today to complete the first floor of our space.

Students must have turned in their chromebook and charger prior to attending field day. We will do callouts by grade level to remind students.
If the chromebook or charger has been lost, students will not be allowed to attend field day unless arrangements have been made to recoup the cost of the technology.
Adequate water and cool down spots will be provided for all students at field days. Students may bring sunscreen, hats, or glasses to help keep them cool during field days.

Counselor's Connection
It's hard to believe that we are a week away from ending the school year and we want to extend a heartfelt thank you for allowing us to share in your child's continued academic, social and emotional growth throughout the year. Please encourage your HAWK to take time for selfcare during the summer break. A few ideas can be found within the following link: TEEN SELF CARE

Library
All library books are now due! We still have 113 library books missing, which is a huge improvement from last weeks. Thank you so much for your help getting them back!
If your students have any lost or overdue books they will lose time from field day at the end of the year, so please help them look for their books and remind your students to turn them in asap.
Mrs. Fox will continue to send out overdue notices as the year concludes. If your student(s) thinks they may have returned a book, but still received an overdue notice please have them come to the library and check the shelves.
Our Library is an incredible resource and our kids LOVE coming in.
