H.O.B.O. stands for...
Helping
Ourselves
Become
Organized!!!
What is a H.O.B.O.
book?
A H.O.B.O. book is a
special binder that our school has supplied for your child to help keep
him/her organized this year. It is also the very unusual, yet unique mascot of
our school!
(Click
on this link to read an article about our beloved mascot
if
you are interested!)
In addition to helping
your child stay organized this year, it will also serve as a communication
tool between home and school. Your child will bring the H.O.B.O. book home
each day and will be expected to return it to school the following day. It is
your child's responsibility to take care of this book so that it will last the
entire school year. Here is an overview of the H.O.B.O. book:
