Dear Hobby Sparks Families,
We hope you had a restful and enjoyable spring break! As we return to school, we are excited to continue our journey together and look forward to the opportunities and experiences that the remainder of the school year will bring.
To our students: We couldn’t be more excited to see your energy, enthusiasm, and determination as we dived back into learning!
To our parents: Thank you for your continued support. Together, we’ll make the most of the time left in this school year, focusing on growth and success for all of our students. I really enjoyed celebrating you all this week. An parent appreciation breakfast was the least we could do for all your hard work and dedication,
Here’s to a wonderful start to the final stretch of the year!
Principal Maxey

Get a good night's sleep the night before.

Your support makes a difference! Let’s set our students up for success!
On Friday, March 21, 2025, we will join the world in celebrating World Down Syndrome Day, a day to honor and raise awareness for individuals with Down syndrome. This day serves as an opportunity to acknowledge the unique abilities, talents, and contributions of those with Down syndrome, and to promote inclusion and respect in our community.
To show our support, students are encouraged to wear creative socks on Friday, in recognition of the students with Down syndrome. It’s a fun and simple way for everyone to participate and demonstrate solidarity.
Let’s continue to embrace and support all of our students, recognizing the value each individual brings to our school. We encourage you to take a moment today to reflect on the importance of fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to creating a welcoming space for all students.
