HP Families,
As we wrap up this week at HP, we hosted our Bi-Annual Chuseok Festival for all students and staff today. Over 65 HP students participated in a number of performances such as Fan Dance, K-Pop, Drums, Taekwondo and Choir. Students have been preparing for many months to showcase these dynamic performances. We want to thank the KPA and parent volunteers for their tremendous coordination efforts in helping to share the true meaning of Chuseok with our school community. Also, a special thank you to Ms. McHale in the Library Media Center for preparing students with read-alouds and activities. All HP families are invited to come and see the show on Saturday, September 27th at 4:00 pm in the Big Gym. There is no admission fee.
