This week, our kindergarten team had the opportunity to meet with Eagle Scout, William Engel, who built the new kindergarten garden. He came to show some of our youngest learners how he planned for and built the garden. Students had fun exploring- smelling basil & mint- and seeing the butterflies who enjoy the flowers. They even tasted cucumbers & peppers grown right here.
We want to thank William for his incredible work at HBRES, and we wish him the very best as he begins his journey at Aurora University!

Good Morning!
We are working to get Pick Up Patrol up & running for HBRES. Please go to Pick Up Patrol's website and check that your default pick up plan is accurate. Once that is set- you only need to enter something (BEFORE 2:00) if there is a change to how you are transporting your student home.
We do ask the students to stick to their usual transportation plans and changes are made only in unique situations. Thank you for your patience with us as we get this running.
