Fun at the HBMH 6th Annual Fall Festival!

A BIG thank you to our entire community for coming out to our recent Fall Festival; we had a record turn-out this year! This has always been a successful fundraiser for us. It gets better and better every year. Thank you all for coming out and supporting our school!

Face painting, henna art and hair/nail salon was a big hit!
Thank you, Ms. Insiya for creating such lovely henna for our guests! Visit Insiya’s Temporary Body Art homepage for background on her beautiful work.

Mr. Monty was the “tractor conductor” and towed the kids in the barrels all night. They absolutely loved it!

Meet Floppy! Our Newest Apple Community Member

Today, Ms. Patti surprised everyone with our newest Apple classroom pet…Floppy! Floppy is a 7 month old, extremely gentle and loving rabbit. Our friends welcomed Floppy with open arms. We discussed proper care etiquette and the right/wrong way to pet him. So far, he’s adjusted to the new environment wonderfully!

We learned how to gently pet Floppy using two fingers.

We take turns watching our new friend as he settles into his home.

Our Apple friends were so calm and quiet as Floppy explored his new environment. He stopped by everyone individually to give them a sniff and a “bunny kiss”.

Welcome to your new home, sweet Floppy.
