Let’s take a look at how Heart House kicked off the new year!
Welcome Back!
The start of a new semester means that Heart House is back in session! We’re excited to have welcomed students back with open arms and a plan to make this semester an amazing one — filled with joy and learning (and recess, of course!)

Collaborative Mural Project
This month, students from all three classes are working on a mural project where each student decorated a few pieces of a larger puzzle with images of their favorite things about Heart House. Students also created self-portraits to be arranged around the mural. Looks like Mudaser secret identity of being Spider-Man has been revealed!

The students had fun adding their creations to this artwork. Tune in next month to see the finished product!

First Love & Lead of the Year
Love & Lead is a chance for teachers to spend extra time with a small number of students from their class. This month, a few students from Wildflower (K-2nd) and Park Lane (3rd-4th) watched Encanto at Heart House. Of course movie time isn’t complete without pizza and a pillow fort!

STEMPower
The amazing students at STEMPower raised $500 for Heart House—they even created their own display check! We are deeply grateful for the support of these young leaders and wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
