It is a daily practice of purposeful appreciation of one’s life through interactive art and/or messages. The project engages students and parents to 1) Contemplate a source of gratitude in their lives and 2) Provide an outlet to express that thought of thankfulness at our school. This accessible outlet will act as a ‘reminder’ or a GRATITUDE STOP, where a person reflects on something they are grateful for. Then, take it a step further by actually writing what they are grateful for. Our hope is that parents, students and employees at HBE will take time to reflect on what they are grateful for and share it on our “GRATITUDE Wall/Banner”.

SCE-I NEWSReady, Set, Lift-Off!
We have introduced the Lift Off component of Education Galaxy. Lift Off provides an individualized study plan for your child(ren) under "My Galaxies“. Students log-in the same way using the educationgalaxy.com webpage. Our HBE Computer Lab is available at 7:15a for all students who would like to come and work on Education Galaxy (Lift Off) or research.
Parents, please continue helping your child(ren) by practicing the sight words provided by their teacher at home. Students must be able to read all sight words with automaticity. Reading 15-20min a day with your child(ren) can have an everlasting impact on their education. Thank you for your support!
