🐣 Exciting News from 3rd Grade! 🐣
Our chick-hatching project is in full swing! Today, our eggs were checked for development using a process called candling — a bright light helps us peek inside the shell to see how our chicks are growing.
✨ During the first week, we can see tiny blood vessels forming.
🐥 By the second week, we might even see movement as the chicks grow.
⏳ By the last few days, the eggs will look almost completely dark because our chicks are almost ready to hatch!
We can’t wait to welcome our fluffy new friends soon! Stay tuned for updates from our 3rd grade “hatch room”! 💛🐔 #STEMLearning #3rdGradeScience #FutureFarmers #ChickHatching

🚌 National School Bus Safety Week: October 20–24, 2025
This week, Hope Public Schools proudly joins districts across the nation in celebrating National School Bus Safety Week — a time to recognize the importance of school bus safety and to honor the dedication of our transportation professionals.
This year’s theme, “Safe Stops. Stronger Communities.,” reminds us that safety starts with everyone — our drivers, students, parents, and community members.
🚸 Remember:
🚘Drivers must stop when a school bus’s red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended.
🚨Always stay alert and slow down in school zones.
Every school day, our bus drivers safely transport hundreds of students to and from school. We thank them for their commitment, professionalism, and care. Please take a moment this week to remind students about safe behavior at the bus stop and on the bus — and to thank our transportation team for keeping our students safe each day.
Let’s work together to make every trip a safe one! ❤️🐾
