HBE PTO Presents - The Appreciation Post Office!

Tuesday, April 28th - Friday, May 8th

Students and staff are invited to send kind notes to our amazing HBE team during Teacher Appreciation Week!

Everyone is invited to stop by the blue mailbox in the rotunda to pick up an “Appreciation Postcard,” or create their own message, drawing, or note of thanks. When they’re finished, they can simply drop it in the mailbox and the PTO will make sure it makes it to the proper destination!

Notes for Mrs. Ponder can be submitted by 4/30 at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdo2cAujLwoG3LyxUllvl7FBIDE3iE_07DYnqrnA9DDI294eA/viewform
