by providing a jazz-themed music program and a visual arts
program that integrates Math and English Language Arts. Music will be
offered to grades 5th-8th and Visual Arts will be offered to grades K-4th.

SBAC Goody Bags

SBAC (Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium) state testing
is right around the corner for HBCP! A good breakfast, at least 9 hours
of sleep, great attendance and a little encouragement always makes a
difference in our scholars performance. While this is a time of
anticipation and excitement for our testing grades, we do need to
ensure that our scholars feel supported. In an effort to show our
support to our scholars in testing grades (3rd-8th), we have decided to
collect snack donations to be delivered to our testing scholars on a
daily basis during testing. Each scholar will be delivered a snack goody
bag that also includes a note of encouragement.
If you want to help support our scholars and school, we are looking for
donations. You can donate healthy non-perishable snacks or donate at
least $5. If you are interested, please see someone in the front office.
All donations count toward the 40 hours that each family is
required to complete each school year.
