Good Afternoon, Highland Families! 💛🐝

Thank you to all of our families who joined us for Bright Night on Thursday! Seeing our hallways filled with laughter, learning, and shining faces truly makes our hearts happy. We love when you partner with us to help your child GROW! 🌟

This week, our hearts turn to celebrating the love of Grandparents with our special Books and Breakfast mornings. 🥞📚 These moments are such a sweet way to honor the important people who pour so much love into our children. Please check the schedule and sign-up link in The BUZZ so we can be ready to welcome these treasured guests with warm smiles.

We are so grateful for each of you and the love you bring into our school family. Wishing you a wonderful evening—we can’t wait to see our Hornets in the morning! 💕
