Smiley Thoughts
PACK Guardians and Students,
It was another great week at Hubbard! Lots of small group instruction, science labs, reading, AVID strategies, and so much more. Don't forget to check out the flyers below for the awesome things going on in the next couple of weeks.
HOT DOG SUPPER!!!! - Mark your calendar, save the date, and work up an appetite for this year's annual community event, Hot Dog Supper! We will be slinging hot dogs, enjoying student performances, and lots of games on fun activities for middle schoolers on Friday, November 8th from 5-7pm at the Hubbard courtyard and cafeteria. You won't want to miss it! More details to come, but this will be one of the biggest events of the year.
Halloween Costumes - Students may wear Halloween costumes on October 31st but are not allowed facial paint, masks, or toys/fake weapons.
Boy's Basketball Tryouts - 10/30-11/1 with 7th grade at 7:00a.m. and 8th grade 3:45-5:00pm. Students can be dropped off at the gate off of Husky Drive.
Basketball at Hubbard - Now that volleyball season is over, we are excited about the upcoming basketball season. Campus administration and coaches are implementing a new policy at Hubbard that students are not allowed into the games unless accompanied by a guardian. Students who stay after school will not be allowed to enter the game until an adult has arrived.
Are you registered to VOTE? - I am inspiring all adults to double check their registration status and make sure they vote in the upcoming presidential election.
-------------------------------------------------------------REPEATS--------------------------------------------------------------------
Leaving Early - If you are picking your child up early from school please do so by 3:15 p.m. We do not allow students to be checked out after 3:15 p.m. since this could hamper our dismissal procedures and ability to retrieve multiple students before the bell. The front office is closed between 3:15 and 3:45 p.m.
TONIGHT!
6th graders are welcome at the Tyler Legacy football game tonight to run out with the players at the beginning of the game. You are encouraged t to wear red and black to support your future high school. Students will start being accepted for the beginning of the game "run through" at 7:05pm. Ms. Orlowski was named the highlight teacher of the game for our 6th graders!
