We had a great time at STEAM Night! Thanks to our PTO, Mrs. Willey & Mrs. Delisio for making it happen!
We have several events coming up that you will not want to miss! See the flyers for all details!
1- Tomorrow (Thursday) is STEAM Night! Come to the ES Cafeteria from 5:30- 7:00 pm for harvest themed STEAM activities and fun. This event is free & the book fair will be open!
2- Our Fall Fun Fest is Saturday, October 12! This year it will be at the high school from Noon to 4:30 pm. There will be lots of Halloween games, a haunted house hallway, food trucks,
a costume contest and more!

SAVE THE DATE!
It’s hard to believe that this year, on Friday, October 18, we will have our 10th annual walk-a-thon! Our walk-a-thon definitely puts the FUN in FUNdraiser!! The money raised will help elementary teachers get items on their wishlists. We can’t wait to get our teachers and students the extras that make HBRES a great place to learn and be!
Before the walk-a-thon, students can go out and ask friends and family members for donations. More information will be sent home soon. Students will be able to earn prizes for being the top earners and runners in the school or class as well as for meeting school wide fundraising goals. We will also have our very popular raffle drawing! For every $10 a student raises, they will earn a raffle ticket. Prizes will be on display prior to the Walk-a-Thon- you should see the kids’ excitement as they walk past them!
The success of the walk-a-thon depends on the support of our awesome HBR community. If your family’s business would like to make a monetary donation to the wishlist or donate a prize for our raffle, please email Manda Davis at mdavis@hbr429.org. THANK YOU!!
Mark your calendars! The HBRES Fall Anderson's Book Fair is coming! And with the Book Fair we have Donuts with a Grown Up and Harvest Themed STEAM Night! Our Book Fair is September 23-26. Donuts with a Grown Up is 9/23- 9/25 (RSVP coming soon!) and Harvest STEAM Night is 9/26!
