7-12 PANTHER PRINCIPAL NEWSLETTER LIVE!!!

It is amazing to think that we on the doorstep of the second semester here at Hershey Public School. It will not be long before we are counting down the days to the end of the school year and celebrating the Class of 2026. The new semester brings a fresh start for us all and it is my hope and expectation that all students, staff, and stakeholders bring their best as we transition into 2026! 

Please be aware of a couple of items I included in the newsletter this month. First, I have included some reminders I will be sharing with the student body when classes resume. Please take a look at these so you are in the loop as to the expectations of students here at Hershey. Second, I have included some reminders for the Class of 2026. With the second semester upon us, the clock is ticking for application, scholarships, and graduation requirements.  Lastly, I have included the link to the list of activities for the month of January. We have a number of HOME events that you can come to support Panther students this winter!

Winter break is the perfect chance to reset after your brain has been nonstop between school, activities, and plenty of screen time. TikTok, gaming, and catching up on shows are all part of the fun—but mixing in some offline moments helps you come back in January actually feeling recharged. Try taking short screen breaks, putting your phone down during family time, stepping outside for fresh air, and giving your mind space to breathe. Digital citizenship isn’t just about what you do online—it’s also knowing when to log off. Enjoy your time off, Hershey: log off a little, live a lot.
