Worthington Hills Summer Update
July 18, 2025
Worthington Hills Families,
After the 4th of July, it seems that summer just slides through our fingers and we are back at school before we know it. We still have a month to squeeze in a little more fun (and reading)! There is still time for more fun, adventures and memories! Whatever your family is doing, I hope you are enjoying these summer days (and reading)!
We know that back to school can be stressful so my hope is that this newsletter can be a one stop shop for all the information you need. For this issue, I wanted to get dates out for your calendars and supply lists. If you have ANY questions, please do not hesitate to call school, 614-450-4700, and Erin Neville or I will be happy to help. One of us is in, most days, 8:00-3:00 and if we don't answer we will get back to you within 24-48 hours.
I hope you enjoy this next month with your children and look forward to seeing you all very soon!
Keep enjoying the sunshine!
