The 3rd grade classes took a walk to Valley View Nursing Home and Heritage Court while Fool’s Spring was looming! They brough a little magic with them in the form of colored bubbles to blow in the wind. The students enjoyed singing and dancing for some of the residents and had a wonderful time visiting. The students were greeted with loving smiles on the other side of the windows.

Important Announcement Regarding FREE Meals Due to a waiver extension by the USDA, Houston Public Schools finally received notification that we are able to offer meals (breakfast and lunch) FREE of charge to ALL our students, whether or not they qualify for free- or reduced-priced meals. This waiver only goes through June 30,2021, but is retroactive to the first day of school. The waiver does not apply to the snack milk program at Houston Elementary and Preschools. It is still extremely important that families complete the Application for Educational Benefits now or before the December 15, 2020 deadline. Our school and students benefit from the funding we receive.
