Dear Families:

Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!). Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them on their journey to becoming lifelong readers. AND—as always—every purchase at the Fair benefits our school.

Here’s what you need to know about the big event, which will take place from Monday, April 8th - Friday, April 12th in the Hanna Woods Commons:

Say goodbye to cash and hello to eWallet—your child’s digital payment account. Before the Fair, set up eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute! Share each child’s eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy.

If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Book Fair online. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Every online purchase will also benefit our school.

Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping:

Hello Hanna families! We hope that you enjoyed your spring break and were able to spend some quality time with your families.

Free Community Interpreting Line

A nonprofit organization called LAMP has a free Community Interpreting Line for Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals and families. When a family member needs to speak to someone at Hanna Woods, they can call LAMP at (888) 260-3791 and have an interpreter on the line with them during the phone call. They provide professional over-the-phone interpreters in over 150 languages including Arabic, Bosnian, Chinese, Farsi, Mandarin, Pashto, Portuguese, Spanish, Urdu and more. More information can be found here.

Hanna Woods also provides interpreters for meetings with teachers and administrators and in-person or online parent-teacher conferences. You can contact your child’s teacher, EL Specialist or the secretaries to schedule an interpreter. We are here to help so please email us if you have any questions or concerns.

Understanding why we experience anxiety can help empower kids who are having anxiety or worrying frequently. Anxiety is an adaptive tool that protects humans by alerting us at the first sign of possible danger. This video here explains more about why humans experience anxiety.
