HMH K-5 Parent Workshop Overview Slides

Dear Middle School PS/MS 219 Families, our school has been accepted into Broadway Jr., a Shubert Foundation-sponsored program and will be producing a musical production of Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka Jr. The production will include a staff-assigned director, choreographer, and musical director. We are hoping to generate interest and commitment from 30-50 middle school students to participate as actors or ensemble members and a technical crew to work on sets and costumes. This opportunity is open to ALL grade 6-8 students!  Willy Wonka Intro Letter with Sign Up Link

We recently introduced an exciting, evidence-based social and emotional learning (SEL) program that can help our students better engage in learning, learn to self-regulate their behavior, and improve their attention skills and well-being. MindUP™ is a classroom-based program that teaches children strategies guided by the fields of neuroscience, mindful awareness training, social and emotional learning, and positive psychology to support success in the classroom and life. Learn more via the Family Welcome Letter and visit the Mind Up Website.
