Important Dates Through December
|
|
During a December community event in years past, Hermosa students developed one of their favorite playground activities: playing on the playground at night. Students brought flashlights, and parents and teachers allowed this spontaneous and joyful play. In keeping with our “history,” we have again planned an event to play together during the full moon. Hermosa’s campus takes on a beautiful glow during the full moon. To enhance the evening, we will have a special moonlight playlist, glow sticks, and some Galileoscopes.
Pack a picnic basket, order pizza, or call UberEats, and join us for an evening of playful enjoyment of the full moon on campus.

2nd Annual “Gila Monster Bowl”
|
|
Final Score:
Staff Wins Annual Flag Football Game 38- 24!
Despite a valiant 2nd half comeback by the students, the teachers take the victory. Rumors of a rematch are being spoken of. However, as it stands, the series now stands at 1-1.
Thank you to all the parents and coaches who volunteered their time to make this another remarkable and memorable game.
A special thank you to the cheerleaders and their coaches who brought incredible energy, as well as all the players who I could not be more proud of! …until next year!
-Coach Chris

“An attitude of gratitude for living, learning, loving and being. Generosity in expressing appreciation. Focusing on the blessings in our lives.”
-The Virtues Project
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, our classes focus on the virtue of thankfulness. I am very thankful for my wonderful staff, our Hermosa families, our beautiful campus, being able to watch the children play on the hill, and work in their classrooms. I wish you all a wonderful holiday.

A Message From Hermosa’s Choir Director
|
|
Dear Parents,
What a fantastic semester this has been in choir. It is my pleasure to work with each of your children. They have all brought something unique and valuable to our program. The date of our first concert is Saturday, December 9, at 6:30 P.M. Our performance is at the Tucson Mall.
Singers, please arrive by 6:15 P.M.
so that we can get the children positioned.
CONCERT ATTIRE
All singers are to wear their choir T-shirts and the best darkest blue jeans they have.
If they do not own dark blue jeans, they may wear black leggings without any designs. Please have them wear their darkest shoes, whether they are tennis shoes or dress shoes. Please no flip-flops or heels.
If they are new to the program or have moved up to the Elementary II choir, I will be handing out T-shirts the week before our concert.
The children are enthusiastic and such a joy to work with. They are looking forward to sharing their songs with you.
Thank you,
Sabrina Petty
Hermosa Choir Director

Histories Mysteries was a great success. Our students conducted research on the historical figure they represented, and wrote an essay about the person, before getting into character. Thanks Elementary II students, for doing such a great job bringing historical figures to life.

Students learned about food webs and how they are comprised of numerous, interdependent food chains. They created their own food webs based on a chosen habitat.
