FROM OUR PRINCIPAL, MS. FOUNDAS
Dear Happy Hollow Families,
As we wrap up this wonderful week, I want to take a moment to thank you for your support and the joy your children bring to our school community every day. It’s been amazing to watch their growth, curiosity, and enthusiasm for learning this school year.
As we head into winter break, I hope you find time to relax, recharge, and create cherished memories with your loved ones. Whether you’re cozying up with a good book, playing in snow, or simply enjoying time together, may your days be filled with happiness and warmth.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the new year, ready for more exciting adventures in learning! Until then, take care and enjoy every moment of this special season.
Here is this week’s newsletter for those who would like to plan ahead.
Warmly,
Nicolette Foundas, Happy Hollow Principal
