HELEN HALLER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Third-graders at Helen Haller have been completing a unit on ancient Rome. Students in Emily Ellefson’s class dressed as ancient Romans. The ancient Romans were invited to a circus where they played a variety of multiplication games. Students in Rachel Oden’s class fashioned Roman legionary helmets as part of the unit.

It was School Counselors week, and students in Ione Marcy’s first grade class are thankful for their school counselor, Jennifer Saul. Students drew pictures and wrote notes to her about what they appreciated that she has taught them this year about regulating their emotions with Kelso’s Choices, the Color Zones and The Power of Yet. Thank you Ms. Saul!

After a year without a yearbook, Helen Haller announces that the 2021-2022 Yearbook is back and in full swing! Additionally, the student-designed Cover Contest is back! Click on the link at hhe.sequimschools.org for contest rules and information. The deadline for submissions is Friday, April 1.
