At HB we have a large group of students who are considered Multilingual Learners, meaning they are developing proficiency in more than one language. These hardworking students often do not receive recognition for their achievements. In February, they will take an annual assessment called the WIDA Access Test, which measures their proficiency in English. We would like to honor and celebrate their hard work by offering incentives during the testing period. If you are able to help, please go to this link for more information: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0A44ACAE2AA7FD0-54371465-multilingual#/ We are asking for gift cards worth $20 and you may send them to the Main Office by Mon., Feb. 3.
