TREP$ Marketplace: Celebrating Our Young Entrepreneurs! - We are thrilled to share the fantastic success of our 6th Grade TREP$ Program and the recent TREP$ Marketplace held on Thursday, December 11th! Our students spent the entire Fall immersed in the exciting world of entrepreneurship. They demonstrated incredible creativity and diligence, developing detailed business plans, creating innovative products, designing compelling advertisements and creating engaging marketing campaigns. The marketplace event was the culmination of their hard work, giving them the chance to sell their products and run their own small businesses. A Commitment to Giving Back - Beyond their business success, we are especially proud of our students' commitment to philanthropy. They generously donated 50% of all profits to the following worthy causes:
-Cancer Care
-Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund
-The Wildlife Conservation Society
Thank you to everyone who supported our 6th-grade entrepreneurs! The TREP$ program is a powerful way for students to learn essential business skills while making a positive impact in the world.
Thank you so much for your generous contributions to the Kind Kids Club holiday drive! Your support helps the Kind Kids Club bring joy to people in the hospital during the holidays. If you haven’t had a chance to contribute yet, we will continue collecting donations all next week. Items for donation include the following: pens and pencils, colored pencils, crossword or sudoku books, coloring books for adults, lotion, Vaseline, lip balm, pocket size tissues, fuzzy socks and lap blankets. Every small gift makes a big difference, and we truly appreciate your kindness and support!

Arrival/ Dismissal Reminders From HPPD:
-Please ensure that your child is prepared to exit the car when you are dropping them off (their coat is on, everything is in their backpack, etc.)
-Parents can not double park on or off school grounds
-Students shouldn’t be crossing into a traffic lane to get picked up or dropped off
-When walking on Lynn and surrounding streets, please do not walk in the center of the street as it impedes traffic
-If you are by a crosswalk, please transition away from the crosswalk as soon as possible so the crossing guards and vehicles understand who is about to cross the street
Have a great weekend HP and a Happy & Peaceful Hanukkah to those celebrating.
