Ultimately, the goal of education is to help students become independent learners and engage with the world around them, and that is happening now more than ever in countless ways. As I virtually visit various classes, I see the joy of students not only mastering the standard curriculum, but also taking charge of learning new skills. Our virtual talent show was a testament to the new learning: cake decorating, musical instruments and comedy acts, to name a few examples.
One of the advantages of our “distance learning airplane” is that you are all welcome to hop on and join the ride. We invite you to be a part of the many exciting end of year events we have planned: join us for “Fun Fridays” where we will cancel classes and teachers will share passion projects with their students, be inspired at our virtual assembly with Rob Surrette of “Amazing Hero Art”, cheer on the blue and white teams at virtual Field Day, and congratulate your newest fellow alumni at virtual graduation. If you would like to be added to the distribution list for links to these events or to receive the morning announcements, please reach out to me at principal@htsdc.org. Likewise, to keep in touch, please follow us on our various social media platforms that are linked in the footer of this email.
