Hardy at Home!


Hello! I hope this message continues to find you well and safe at home. I am hoping you will consider joining in on a special project. I have been speaking to our faculty and to our PTO leaders and we are going to launch “Hardy At Home.” It’s a simple thing. We are asking everyone who would like to participate to send a photograph of life at home. Mrs. Rabito and I will collect the photos of the teachers, and our PTO will help with collecting photos from families. We will create a slideshow and share it with everyone. Good wishes go out to everyone who is celebrating this week and next. I wish you well. 

All my best, 

Kate Peretz, Principal
