Read Across America Week also means welcoming mystery readers into our kindergarten classes! πβ¨A Hubbard alum returned to read to her brotherβs class, making this moment even more special. She even got to stop by and say hello to her former third-grade teacher, proving that once youβre part of the Hubbard family, youβre always HOME. Connections that last, traditions that continue, and a love for reading that brings us all together! ππ




Collaboration in action! ππ Our dedicated Hubbard teachers come together for a faculty meeting to share ideas, reflect on best practices, and continue growing as educators. These meetings are essential for fostering teamwork, professional development, and ensuring we provide the best learning experiences for our students.
