Week 32, Sunday, April 20, 2025

Can you believe it? We’re just two short weeks away from Tulip Time,  which can only mean one thing: the end of the school year is just around the corner.

Even as we head into the final stretch, there’s still a lot of meaningful learning happening every day. Our students are setting academic goals, staying engaged, and working hard to finish the year strong  and we’re so proud of their effort.

Thank you for your continued support at home. Together, we’re helping our kids make the most of every moment this school year. 


Blood Drive information 

HLA 5th graders are once again partnering with Versiti Blood Centers to help save lives in our community through the Junior Leaders for Life Program. This program teaches children about blood donation, blood components, and how blood saves lives. As part of this program, 5th grade students are being asked to recruit potential donors for our upcoming blood drive on Tuesday, April 29th 2:30-7:00 in HLA's cafeteria. For more information, see the attached flyer (español). 

Donors, please sign up here.

Thank you!
