Space constraints do not permit us to name each of the many, many individuals involved with all of the back to school initiatives.  Please know that your efforts are greatly appreciated!  Still, we want to take this opportunity to thank Laurie Cahill and members of her Back to School Committee for arranging to have signs placed on every HW family's lawn, among other efforts.  A big thanks to Greta O'Keef and Courtney Mathey and all the HW buddy families for their tireless efforts to make all of our new families feel so welcome. Thank you to Brie Root and her committee for providing the faculty and staff with a wonderful lunch as they prepared their classrooms last week.  A special thanks to Michael Collins for creating incredible digital maps of the HW traffic patterns and classroom layout.  Thank you to Nidhi Singh and Sean Kalil for spending much of the summer designing an amazing line of school spirit wear with accompanying magnets and water bottles. Abby Burtelow deserves great thanks for handling all of the school supply ordering and orchestrating the distribution of supply kits with the help of a great team of parents, school friends, and children.  Thanks to Jen Hayes for masterfully coordinating the assignment or room parents and Mayfest parents.  A huge thanks to Lori Miralles and her team for handling the timely collection of data and content to ensure the school directory will be available in mid-September.  Thank you Fran Fairman and her committee for ensuring that all members of the HW community will be greeted by beautiful flowers when they arrive at the front entrance to school.  Last but not least, a big thanks to Erin Donaldson for all her efforts to distribute timely information to our HW family through the Item and other communications.
