Dear HPS Families,

Thank you to students who led our Remembrance Day ceremony this week. It was a very thoughtful event with artwork, music and readings shared by students. Thank you to families who were able to join us.

Wishing you all a great week ahead,

Ms. Jurkowski and Ms. Neale on behalf of the HPS Team
