Bobcat Bulletin

C.D. Hunking School | December 19, 2021

We are excited to welcome Mrs. Fitzgerald to Hunking this coming week. Mr. Gage and I will be assisting her with getting acclimated to the school. In the meantime, please continue to reach out to us so we can give her time to settle in. 

Thank you to the PTO for coordinating the staff luncheon and to the families who donated items for the luncheon. It was delicious! Next up is the holiday word search from December 26-January. Follow the snowflake route on the flyer to find the hidden message. Holiday-WordSearch. Email the answer to HunkingPTOPhotos@gmail.com to be entered for a chance to win a raffle prize.

Items in the lost and found will be donated during the winter break. Please have your student check for any missing items. It is located in the cafeteria for easy access. 

Ms. Cerullo, the art teacher, is requesting coffee filter donations for a project.

Friendly Reminders: 

  • Students must wear masks on school buses at all times. Students should have masks on prior to stepping on the bus.
  • Adults dropping off and picking up students should not be texting on their cell phone. This is a huge safety concern!

Enjoy the winter break with your family. Personally, I am hoping for some snow so we can have some outdoor fun!
