You did it Hawks! We reached our goal and raised over $100,000. Now you get to decide how Mr. Weber will tame the wild beast that is his beard! Voting will start in classrooms when we return from break. Thank you all for your generosity and support! Though we reached our goal you can still earn a special class visit from a Hacienda animal when your class reaches 85% participation. Congratulations to Miss Griffeth and Ms. Lombardo. Your classes have already earned a special animal visit. Be sure to check out the HIPS Thank You Video at https://youtu.be/MgC_ihtjcEU. Next week we will announce the last raffle winners so you still have a chance to be a winner. Giving Drive ends today so be sure to make your donations by midnight.

Did you see our latest video with a few special guests? Mr. Weber was joined by Ms. Ulrich and a few snakes! Ms. Ulrich (3rd-5th) is one of our amazing Music teachers. She, Ms. Thompson(1st & 2nd) and Mr. Ward (K), make up our wonderful Music Department. HIPS is proud to provide 100% of the funding to support music in our school, especially during distance learning! ... Ms. Ulrich is shown holding Dutchess and Mr. Weber is holding Bandita. These cool snakes and other animals at Hacienda are also supported with HIPS funding. Do you love our Music & Science programs at Hacienda? Be sure to donate to our Annual Giving Drive. If your class reaches 85% participation, you will get a special WebEx call from one of the awesome Hacienda animals. See link in comments to donate. See photos for little info about each animal.
