Thrive Alliance is a clinical provider that HP has partnered with for the last few years. They are offering a parents’ session via Zoom on April 2nd at 7:00 pm. Please scan the QR code on the below flyer to access and complete your registration.

8th Graders have been working on their TREPS entrepreneurial projects. In groups, students had to generate and market a product. Students will have the opportunity to visit the TREPS Marketplace on Thursday, April 3rd, to purchase items. There will also be an evening opportunity to shop in the APR.

The lost and found located outside the APR is overflowing with clothes and water bottles. Please check if you think your child has an item there. At the end of the day Friday, April 11th items will be bagged up and donated.

Have a great weekend HP! Enjoy the warmer weather!
