The Hatboro‑Horsham School District pauses to recognize and thank all veterans for their courage, service, and sacrifice. Their dedication protects the freedoms students learn about every day and sets a powerful example for the community.
Students from Mrs. Boxman and Mrs. Lyford's ELD class at the high school visited Simmons Elementary to practice their English skills by reading to younger students. The elementary school students were impressed by the fluency and confidence of their older peers. A huge thank you goes out to all the teachers for creating such a welcoming environment for these multilingual learners!
The student council representatives at Crooked Billet Elementary organized a “Socktober” sock drive and successfully collected 583 pairs of socks! Each week, the representatives tallied the totals for each grade level and shared the results during the morning announcements. A friendly competition was held among the grade levels, with kindergarten emerging as the winner by donating 160 of the 583 pairs of socks. We are incredibly proud of all the students and their families for helping to warm the feet of our neighbors in need during the upcoming cold months.
