H-BC Elementary School Families:
No school today, Friday, February 12 or Monday, February 15. Hope you and your family have a great President’s Weekend.
Here is a reminder to double check your child’s cold weather apparel. It’s cold out there! Looking as though we will be in this cold weather pattern for an extended period.
Our 100th day of school happened on Tuesday! Ask your child about the celebration.
Thanks to all those folks that braved the cold weather and attended their child’s parent teacher conference yesterday. Much appreciated!
H-BC ELEMENTARY STUDENT Gavin Harnack was selected to be a part of the 2021 Elementary Festival Honor Choir in Brookings this year! Congratulations!
School Pictures
Yesterday, A Lifetouch Pictures Photographer came to the elementary school to take student photos. Some students were unsure if they were ordering photos, so we had their picture taken. For your information.

The Minnesota Energy Assistance Program (EAP) can help
