Bubbles everywhere

     On June 23 kindergarteners held their first ever Bubble Day. The students created their own bubble wands using materials found at home. “It was a perfect bubble day with a breeze that helped make great bubbles. Fun was had by all,” said teacher Tracey Conover.

Fun at the  PBIS Carnival

     The first ever Harry Hoag PBIS Carnival at Wiles Park was a big success June 7. Kids both young and old had a variety of games to choose from including ring toss and the ever-popular dunking booth. They also had the chance to ride a pony, pet a cow and goat, bounce to their heart’s content, watch cotton candy being spun, listen to music by talented Harry Hoag Elementary School students, and have a snack or two. Money raised by the event will support PBIS activities such as quarterly rewards and the store. More than 50 parents, staff, and senior students volunteered at the event. MORE PHOTOS..
