Congrats to the HHS Varsity Softball team on their 4-2 win over Big Sky in Missoula on Thursday! Good luck to them as they travel this Saturday to Polson to play both Polson and Columbia Falls!

On Wednesday, students from Mrs. Haflich's HHS Classroom Without Walls class spent the day at the Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge, followed by a visit to Raptors of the Rockies. Students saw close to 40 bird species at the refuge, including sandhill cranes, wood ducks, and a variety of waterfowl, raptors, songbirds, and woodpeckers. In the afternoon, we met with Kate Davis of Raptors of the Rockies to learn about birds of prey. Students had a great time. Thank you to Kate Davis for inviting us to her property and teaching us about raptors. Thank you Stock Farm Greater Ravalli Foundation and Hamilton High School FFE for funding these amazing experiences.

Why Your Child Will Love It:

This isn't just about "getting ready"—it’s about sparking a lifelong love for learning. Here is a glimpse of what’s in store:

*Literacy Adventures: From recognizing letters to sharing stories, we make reading feel like a superpower.
*Math Magic: We turn counting and shapes into fun, hands-on games that build real confidence.
*School-Ready Skills: Beyond the books, we help them practice the social and classroom routines that make school fun.

"The goal isn't just to teach; it's to inspire a sense of wonder that lasts far beyond the classroom."

We can't wait to see those "Aha!" moments and big smiles as they master new skills. Let's make this transition to kindergarten the best adventure yet!
