SPARK SOME SUMMER READING!

We are incredibly proud of our Hope Graduates and all they have accomplished, as well as the remarkable growth they have demonstrated. As you move on to the next chapter, we wish you a bright future filled with success, joy, and endless possibilities. Once a Panther, always a Panther—congrats, Class of 2025!

Please join us in celebrating the retirement of two amazing members of our school family! After 21 years of dedication, compassion, and service, Ms. Rockenfeller is retiring from the classroom. She has inspired countless students, sparked a love of learning, and made a lasting impact on our school community. We are so grateful for the care and commitment Ms. Rockenfeller brought to every school day. We're also saying a heartfelt goodbye to Ms. Deyong, who has been the heart of our front office for 27 years. From warm welcomes to keeping everything running smoothly, her kindness, organization, and steady presence will be deeply missed. Wishing both of them the very best in this next exciting chapter. Thank you for everything—you leave behind a legacy of excellence and heart. 💙

Dear 5th, 6th and 7th Panther Families, This is a reminder that our students will be visiting White Township Consolidated School on Tuesday, June 3rd. If a permission slip has not been returned, please return it tomorrow. Additionally, a Parent Information Session will be held that evening, June 3rd, beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the White Township School Gym. I have attached the letter sent on May 21st as a reminder about Tuesday's events. Enjoy your day with PAWSitivity! Mrs. Green

On Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. We also extend our deepest gratitude to those who continue to serve today. Thank you for your service!
