Message from Principal HornbeckWhat a great year to be at HHA! Life is humming along. We’ve truly enjoyed theNewstead Gym. From PE everyday with Coach Edwards to the Some Special and Medance last Friday to the incredible success of B3 this year, our new space has made ahuge difference. The generosity of our community was truly shining at this year’s B3(Bingo, Bidding & Bites) event, where Jodi Naaz, Katie Stewart, and theirphenomenal team outdid themselves once again, raising nearly $50,000 in oneincredible starry night! The space theme was a hit with lots of astronauts and manyplanets represented. The food, from a couple dozen local restaurants, was deliciousand plentiful, and the good vibes made it the place to be. When we combine thissuccess with our fall BeeFit event, the HHA PTO has raised more than $80,000 thisyear. This money helps to fund our incoming playground, common school suppliesfor every student for the whole year, field trips, the staff wellness committee, thewinter classroom wish list fulfillment and many other things. Thank you for takingthis journey with us!Message from Assistant Principal KamaraApril was filled with energy and strong community moments across HHA! One of thebiggest highlights was this year’s B3 event. With a space/NASA theme, the night wasfull of fun, creativity and school spirit including a pink space suit photo op. Even moreimpressive, this year’s event raised the highest amount in B3 history. A true reflectionof the strength of our HHA community. Huge thanks to our PTO, teachers, staff andall who made it possible. We also hosted the Spring Concert on Thursday, April 23rd,which showcased our students’ talents and the joy that the arts bring to our schoolcommunity. That same evening, I had the opportunity to attend the “Bored Teachers” comedy show alongside colleagues. It was afun and refreshing way to connect, laugh and build community. Thank you to Mr. Plunk, Ms. Vincent, and the PTO for continuing tosupport staff wellness.Looking ahead, we’re excited for BCP’s “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?”, and I am especially excited for the opening of ourspring production of “Matilda”. Our students and staff have put in tremendous effort, and I can’t wait to see it come to life on stage.Our students have also been able to enjoy meaningful experiences outside of the classroom this month. On Thursday, April 23rd,thethird grade had a great time on their trip to the Maryland Zoo, and on Wednesday, April 15th,the fourth grade enjoyed a trip to SkateZone for a day of roller skating. These opportunities allow students to build community, create lasting memories and apply theirlearning in new ways. Thank you to the teachers who planned these trips, and to the staff and chaperones who supported andattended. In honor of Teacher Appreciation Month, I want to recognize our incredible teachers and staff. We could not do this workwithout your commitment and grit.

If your child is anywhere near 18 total absences, they will appear on the district’s “chronically absent” list ofstudents requiring intervention. Many families with children absent between 9 and 14 days have been the focus of our efforts to educate everyoneon the definition of chronically absent which is missing 10% or more of the school year to date or 18 days or more days for the year. This initiativehelps to improve our overall school attendance. Please get your child to school each and every day and bring a doctor’s note when they are too sickto attend.

In May, the world of special education observes Better Hearing and Speech Month, which focuses on raising awareness about communication disorders and the critical role that speech-language pathologists (SLPs) play in supporting students with speech, language and hearing challenges. This month highlights the importance of early diagnosis and intervention, as well as the need for tailored services to help students develop effective communication skills. Schools often use this time to promote resources, education, and advocacy efforts aimed at ensuring students with communication disorders have the support they need to succeed academically and socially. It’s a reminder of the vital connection between communication and overall academic achievement.Students in grades 1 - 4 have been highly engaged in research on a topic of personal interest. Throughout April, students learned to craft good study questions and learned age-appropriate ways of taking notes, and are now ready to share their learning. Grade 1 students are creating an All About book on a topic of their choice, and grade 2 students are putting their research to work by creating guidebooks, stories, models and posters to share what they’ve learned.

HHA Track and FieldThe HHA Track & Field team is hitting its stride this season, showing strong growth, discipline, and teamwork across every event. The 5th grade players are competing in the Charm City League, while the middle school athletes are representing HHA in the Baltimore City League. Both groups rising to the challenge week after week. As the team heads into upcoming meets, every athlete has already recorded a personal best in time or distance, a testament to their hard work and consistency. Coaches are proud of the team’s focus and resilience, and are excited to see that momentum continues to build into standout performances on the track.Tips from the PrincipalPlease help us prepare your child for upper elementary, middle school, high school, and eventuallycollege and career by thinking about:• practicing time management,• making to-do lists, and• limiting cell phone use, gaming, and screen time at home.Time management is a challenge, especially for kids and teens. The more you talk about setting daily and short-term goals, the better. All HHAstudents receive an agenda book to keep track of assignments, projects, field trips, deadlines, etc. Help your child manage their agenda book butremember not to nag. If they don’t have an agenda book, buy an inexpensive one at the store. Making to-do lists is a skill that will serve your childwell and help them become independent in middle and high school. Finally, it is difficult for children to safely negotiate social media. There is toomuch adult content and too many emotionally fraught social media pitfalls. Screen time consumes more than eight hours a day for most children inAmerica. Your child will benefit from limiting screen time, including gaming, social media and YouTube/cable tv shows and movies.Here are some parent tips:• Talk about screen time with your child in advance.• Help them learn to unplug.• If your child plays an online game with friends, ask her/him to unplug the headphones so that you can monitor what is being said.• Expect your child to play online games when you are in the room.• Know who your child is playing with online.• Please don’t let your child sleep with their phone or another screen in their bedroom. Phones should be charged overnight in anotherroom. Your child will sleep much better if their phone is not beeping, vibrating and lighting up all night long. Rested children get bettergrades.Thank you for helping us build strong young minds!22
