Congratulations to Hobe Sound Elementary’s Odyssey of the Mind team for taking 🥉 3rd place at the Regional Tournament on February 28th! 🎭✨

We are so proud of their creativity, teamwork, and dedication! 💙🦅👏

🌱🦅 The House of Hope Traveling Garden Visits Hobe Sound Elementary! 🥕🌼
This week, all of our students in VPK through 5th grade had an exciting hands-on learning experience as Ms. Amanda brought the House of Hope Traveling Nutrition Education Garden to our campus!
The “garden on wheels,” in partnership with Cleveland Clinic Martin Health, provided our Eagles with an interactive opportunity to explore how healthy food grows and why good nutrition matters. Students discovered live vegetables, fruits, herbs, and pollinators while learning how gardening connects to healthy lifestyles and strong communities.

Thank you, Ms. Gwen for arranging this experience for our school. 💙

📚💙 Parents, you are your child’s BEST reading model! 💙📚
At our Media Specialist meeting yesterday, we chatted again about how important it is to model reading for your child. And guess what? YOU can do it! Even if you don’t consider yourself a “reader,” your child sees everything you model—so let them see YOU reading too! 👀📖
Not sure where to start?
👉 Ask your child for a book recommendation—they LOVE being the expert! 😄
🔍✨ Get ready… Mystery March is almost here!
Any student who reads a mystery and passes its AR test next month will earn a special Mystery March brag tag from the Media Center! 🎉🔎
Mystery books come in all levels and interests, so there’s something for everyone!
Need help picking the perfect mystery?
📬 Message me anytime — Mrs. Parrilli — and I’ll be happy to send recommendations!
Let’s make March full of mystery, reading, and fun! 🕵️♀️📚💫

Our Kindergarten Post Office is officially open for business! 📬✨
During our daily P.L.A.Y.S. time in Ms. Baza's Kindergarten class at Hobe Sound Elementary, students are busy writing letters, mailing them, and taking turns as the mailman or mailwoman. The best part? The rich dialogue, teamwork, and problem‑solving happening every step of the way. So proud of these little communicators as they learn through play!

Elevate Eagles with Evening Reading:
📚💙 Parents, great news!
We’ve figured out how students can enjoy the wonderful Learning Ally audiobooks even when they’re away from school!
If your child is eligible, they already have access — and they may even have books waiting on their bookshelf. 🎧📖
To get Learning Ally working at home:
1️⃣ Delete the Learning Ally app from your phone or iPad if it’s already installed.
2️⃣ Have your student log into ClassLink.
3️⃣ Open Learning Ally from there… and they’re in! 🎉
Now your child can dive into tons of amazing audiobooks all weekend long. Encourage them to read or listen to something great over the three‑day weekend! 🌟
If you have any questions, reach out to Mrs. Parrilli.
More Learning Ally tips coming next week! 😊
