Dear HES Family,

It’s hard to believe that it’s already April. March blew in and out rather quickly. The 2007-2008 school year will soon be a mere memory. Students will begin TCAP tests on Thursday and Friday, April 10th – 11th and finish next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, April 14-16th. We will enjoy Spring Break April 21-25th and almost before we turn around, May will arrive.
Last week, we met to begin planning our summer school program. Our theme this year is 212 degrees. At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, water boils. Applying that extra degree of temperature to water means the difference in something that is very hot and something that generates enough force to power a machine. I believe this simple metaphor describes this year at HES. I have observed our faculty, staff, students, and families consistently pushing toward the extra effort in every task we undertake. Turning up the heat … applying just a bit more “oomph” than normal. Reaching deep….fighting a bit harder. Standing firm… showing up again and again.
Friends, little things do matter. Success comes through persistence: never giving up, going the extra mile, and finding joy in the here and now. Thank you for allowing me to join you on this wonderful journey. Together, we are making a difference.

Blessings,
Robin
