Congratulations to Caitlin Garvey on being a recipient of the BOE's Cougar Pride Award! Garvey was nominated by Camille Cole and Sam Kresge who noted the following, "since Caitlin has become part of the HF-L staff here at Lima Primary she has become a major part of our lives as well as the other paras in her room. She is very devoted to her students as well as us. She puts her heart into everything thing she does. This year has been a challenge. Caitlin has applied so much time into completely rearranging our entire room to help the students learning atmosphere. Including getting us classroom pets , two gerbils, to help the kiddos learn compassion and responsibilities. Caitlin makes time for us to understand each child and to learn how to help them each individually. She has so many great learning centers and skills through activities that she teaches the kiddos. We just want to thank her for her endless dedication, her new ways of thinking outside the box, and genuine love of teaching." #WeAreHFL

🗳️ What’s On the Ballot? | HF-L Oversimplified Season 4, Episode 5
Caped sidekick? ✅
Budget superhero? ✅
Clear info about what you’re voting on? ✅✅
In the final episode of HF-L Oversimplified: Season 4, Colin returns (cape and all) to team up with Superintendent Gene Mancuso—our very own budget superhero—to walk you through everything you’ll see on the May 20, 2025 ballot.
From the proposed 2025–26 school budget, to the purchase of new buses, the Transportation Capital Reserve Fund, and the Board of Education election, they explain it all with charm, clarity, and just the right amount of superhero flair.
And as we wrap up this season’s Mr. Rogers-inspired journey through all things budget, we’re reminded that learning—especially when shared with neighbors—is one of the kindest powers there is. 🧥🦸♂️
