Dear HBW Families,
With the 2024-2025 school year in the books, we wanted to take a moment to thank you for your continued partnership, support, and trust. It has been a joy watching our students grow, learn, and achieve throughout the year. On behalf of the entire HBW staff, we wish you and your family a relaxing and summer break filled with fun, rest, and special memories. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall, refreshed and ready for another great year together!

📘 A Message from the Verona Foundation for Educational Excellence (VFEE)
Dear Parents,
With vacation about to start, VFEE hopes that you find time to relax and create new memories of good times shared with family and friends. Please consider stopping in at The Collective Bookstore to support our Summer Reading Book Fair and your child's reading habits. Benefits of summer reading include:
Allows children to explore books of their own interest
Keeps skills sharp and avoids the "summer slide"
Encourages lifelong reading
Prepares students for the coming school year
Shop in store (mention VFEE at checkout) or online at www.VFEEsummer.com. Not only will you be helping your children but you will also be supporting VFEE teacher grants in the coming school year. Thank you for your support of our Summer Reading Book Fair.
Sincerely,
Verona Foundation for Educational Excellence
