We had such an exciting day today! Our reading stations are beginning to start up.

We also got to check out our new addition! We are SO EXCITED to begin going to see Mr. Beebe and Mrs. Anderson in their new rooms!

HGS Drop Off Notes for 2nd Semester.

Due to projected extreme cold temperatures tomorrow, there will be no school for Abingdon-Avon 276 on Tuesday, January 21st. Please stay warm and safe.
Begindergarten students have been working so hard in our understanding of what it means to be responsible. Responsibility is when we take care of something by ourselves without being told to do so. For the weekend, students chose their own task of practicing responsibility at home!

There is a slight chance we will be able to go out tomorrow for lunch recess. Please make sure kiddos are bundled up. HGS K-5 students go outside when the real feel temperature is 20 degrees.

If we are able to go outside, students will be playing on the 3-5 playground as the K-2 playground fence is not in place on Highway 41.
