I hope you had a great week! Below is our weekly Hive Hangout Newsletter for your review! :)
I hope your kiddos had a fabulous night at our Valentines Day Dance last night! I saw some pictures and your sons and daughters looked SO beautiful and handsome! I am so sorry I wasn't able to attend, unfortunately I was out sick. I heard it was a blast and as always our top notch Hicks staff knocked it out of the park!
Have a great weekend and don't forget next week is Spirit Week!!! :)
Love,
Mama Gee
Below is our link for our Friday Hicks Hive Hangout! :) Don't forget to send $5 in for your students if they want to come for the Valentines Day Dance!
Also, parents...I am so sad that I have to bring up the arrival and dismissal process again to you. We were doing SO WELL for so long but unfortunately we are back to having some individuals that are bypassing the safety rules and trying to drive around other cars and/or entering through the exit. This is NOT ok. Please set a positive example for your/our children and follow the single line for drop off. It shouldn't need to be said that safety for the children is number one. Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience. If you need to drop your child off sooner, then I suggest leaving the house sooner to get in line earlier. :)
Have a great weekend!!! :)

November has been a very exciting month for many of our students. Our Wayne Memorial High School Girls Varsity Basketball Team is in the National Preseason Top 40 for the first time. We are proud of all the hard work and energy put into the program.
Students from our elementary and middle schools had the opportunity to visit Michigan State University, where they toured the campus and got to watch a women's basketball game. Another group of middle school students visited Lawrence Technological University and participated in STEM day. HYPE Athletics made a $10,000 donation to our PBIS program, which provides students with positive behavior with a one-day pass to the facility. We continue to work with our community partners to offer our students the most hands-on and comprehensive opportunities.
