I hope you had a wonderful and relaxing spring break! It was so fun to see all of the children’s smiling faces today; the building really comes to life when the students are here. This is the last week of the third quarter; there’s no school on Friday so the teachers can work on grades and report cards. We look forward to visiting with you next week during Parent/Teacher conferences!

After many months of hard work and dedication by many HFCS parents, our new website is launched! It is my hope that this new website shares the story of HFCS with new and prospective families while also being a useful resource for our current community. Please bear with us as we troubleshoot the bugs that inevitably creep in to any new technological venture. Enjoy browsing through our site! If you’re a prospective family, welcome to HFCS! We look forward to getting to know you. If you’re a current family, thank you for being a vibrant part of our wonderful community. Many blessings to you and yours! Stay safe in this crazy winter weather.
