From the Principal

Dear Friends:

Winter has come to Hephzibah and we have reached that time of year where the distractions to schooling are limited. It is too cold to spend time outside, so naturally we all amuse ourselves with indoor activities. I do hope that these activities include reading good books and strengthening math skills. The CRCT is right around the corner and we want all of our children to succeed. I am very proud of the progress the students have made but we still have a long way to go before we are sure that every child will pass the CRCT. More...
