3rd times a charm! We will NOT be changing the dates for the volleyball camp just the times of the age groups! I did not realize there was another activity that week as well! Here are the new times! 2nd-5th grade will be at 8:00am 6th-8th grade will be at 9:00am…..I realize this may not help out 6th grade so much but if you can work something out that would be great!!!

Senior students participated in Senior Send Off with various presenters discussing topics that can provide support after graduation. All Washington county schools participated. Thank you to all of our presenters and counselors for organizing this great event.

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. We are blessed to have some of the best teachers in the state at Hanover. Our teachers consistently go above and beyond to make sure our students are successful and prepared for life after high school. We cannot thank them enough for all they do for our students. Thank you teachers!

Come out tonight and enjoy the music performances of all of our students at Hanover! The concert begins at 7:00.

Kindergarten deliver May baskets to Long Term.

Teacher appreciation week is May 1 through May 7 Teachers, coaches, support staff and school personnel are after immediate family, typically the most important and influential people in our children’s lives! Teachers provide academic instruction and ensure that learning is taking place each day but they do so much more... Teachers instill and reinforce the values that parents initiate at home. Teachers provide discipline and structure in order for young people to learn and thrive. Teachers provide social and emotional support and education so our young people can learn how to manage, cope and survive in this ever-changing world. They teach our young work ethic, drive, determination and the value of doing their best. Each day teachers demonstrate to our children caring, respect, understanding, patience, equity and love. Teaching is probably one of the oldest and most noble professions dating back prior to 561 BC and Confucius. Ever since that time the need for teachers has been growing and is currently at an all time high. Teaching is a time-consuming and extremely challenging profession that we often take for granted. This week is a chance for us to remind our teachers, coaches, support staff how much we appreciate their hard work, thoughtfulness, patience, love and care they put into teaching our children each day! Thank you teachers!

The Junior High track meet for today at Washington Co. has been cancelled and it will not be rescheduled.

The JH track scheduled for April 29th in Washington has been moved up to 10:00 am start time to hopefully avoid potential weather in the late afternoon. Field events will start at 10:00 am with the 3200 starting at 11:00. We will start all other running events at 12:15
