GOOD AFTERNOON HMS FAMILIES:
The baseball season is in full swing and the Yankees are holding their own thus far this season. Their young players are stepping up. For you Mets fans, it may be a very long season if you don’t get a closer. Having a utility player pitch during a game this week isn’t sustainable. As for the Sox fans out there, the season is still young and there are many more games to play. As a reminder, school is not in session tomorrow, Friday, April 7 for Good Friday. Additionally, school is not in session Monday, April 10 through Friday, April 14. I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Spring recess.
Please take a few minutes to review the below updates and reminders:
