TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK

This year's Teacher Appreciation Week rolled out the red-carpet to celebrate the stars of HCE - our incredible teachers! From a fully stocked teachers' lounge to a star-studded luncheon to car washes and Oscar deliveries to classrooms - our PTO aimed to make our teachers feel like the celebrities they are! 

Thank you to all of the families who helped keep the break room fueled and our teachers feeling the love with daily gifts! And a huge thanks to our amazing Teacher Appreciation Week team for their creativity and energy making this such a special week! 

Check out the album for some behind-the-scenes fun! 

HUSKY HUSTLE FINALE

It was high-flying fun for the BMX show- where we announced our Husky Hustle GRAND TOTAL: $91,440! 


THANK YOU to all of our families who made this possible- it's with your support that the PTO can continue to provide programs and events for our students and families! 

We celebrated with our rewards assembly (with our top fundraising class seated right up front!) where students were thrilled and entertained by a BMX stunt show - including a Mr. Drake fly-over! 

Check out the Husky Hustle album for some videos and photos! (scroll to the end for the BMX assembly) 


HUSKY HUSTLE RAFFLE

We wrapped up our Husky Hustle raffle and had so much fun delivering prizes to classrooms on Friday. Our "experience" winners will be announced in classrooms this week - with invites going out soon! We had more than 200 winners - congrats to all of our lucky Huskies!
