Dear Fine Families,

Another great week of teaching and learning here at school!

Earlier in the week, our first grade students took the stage for their Community Helpers performance on Wednesday, April 8th. Congratulations to our first graders on a job well done! We are so proud of their hard work and confidence. A special thank you to Mrs. Bedrosian and the entire first grade team for their dedication and support in bringing this wonderful performance to life.

We wrapped up the week with our Monthly Hawk Hero Assembly, a wonderful opportunity to come together and celebrate our students’ hard work and positive spirit.

During the assembly, we recognized the excitement and effort surrounding our March Madness-style challenges, including Battle of the Books and March Mathness. Students showed incredible perseverance, teamwork, and enthusiasm throughout these competitions. One of the highlights was a fun shootout between Jiji and Flash, which had everyone cheering!

We proudly celebrated our winning teams and recognized students for their determination and commitment during these challenges. Be sure to check out the winners and photos below to see all the excitement from this special event!

Looking ahead, we have several important events and reminders for next week. Our Scholastic Book Fair will be taking place—please be sure to review the schedule for your child’s shopping date and time. The PTO is also looking for parent volunteers to help make this event a success, so please check out the PTO section below if you are interested in volunteering.

On Wednesday, April 15th, students and staff are invited to wear purple or camo in recognition of Military Child Honor Day.

Multicultural Night is Thursday, April 16th from 5:30-7pm. We hope to see you there! 

Please note that Friday, April 17th is a half day of school, with dismissal at 12:25 PM. There will be no lunch served on this day.

Lastly, a reminder that there will be no school the week of April 20th–April 24th for April Break.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. We look forward to another great week ahead!

Suzy Dalessio, Principal

Our Community Helpers Day was a huge success! We are so proud of our first graders! Thank you to Mrs. Bedrosian and the first grade team for a job well done! Way to go first graders!

We celebrated our ST Math March Mathness Challenge winners today with lunch/dance party in the Teacher’s Lounge. So fun! Mrs. Farland’s class came in first place followed by Mrs. Inglese’s class in second, Mrs. Killion’s class in third, and Mrs. Komejko’s Class is 4th.  Way to go final four!

All Hyman Fine students worked hard to meet their ST Math minute and puzzle goals. One student was recognized in each classroom, by their teacher, for always giving their best effort and persevering even when learning gets difficult. They truly shined in this month long challenge. Congrats to all!
