Hey Seahawks- it's time for Summer Reading 2026!!

Dig into adventure this summer with the Santa Rosa County Library System’s “Unearth a Story” Summer Reading Program.
Patrons of all ages are invited to stop by their local library to pick up a Summer Reading log and participate in a scavenger hunt inspired by this year’s theme. Participants who complete the scavenger hunt will receive a brag tag, while supplies last.
The Summer Reading Program will begin June 1 and end July 18.
For more information or to print your reading log for the program, visit https://www.santarosa.fl.gov/923/Summer-Reading .
Don't forget to visit the Navarre library branch on Thursdays at 11:00 am for the K-5 Summer Reading Programs! Program themes can also be found on the public library site linked above. We are lucky to have the public library VERY close to HNIS! It can be found at 8484 James M. Harvell Road .

We are so proud of our 'Battle of the Books' team from Ms. King's fifth grade class- on Tuesday of this week they participated in the Santa Rosa County Battle of the Books competition. They worked as a team to read all 15 SSYRA books this year and did a wonderful job at the trivia competition. These students displayed exemplary teamwork and were great models for good sportsmanship.
We also wanted to give a shout out to Ms. Ganahl's third grade class and Ms. Maher's fourth grade class for winning their HNI Battle of the Books grade level competitions earlier this month. Way to SOAR Seahawks!
Look at this wonderful display of Seahawk artists from the Gulf Breeze Celebrates the Arts festival last weekend. Special shout out to our "heART" teacher Mrs. Sebastian- she inspires our students every day!

Hello Seahawk families,
We are encouraging all students to take on the challenge of dedicating at least 5 minutes a day to journaling in February. Today, students will be taking home a daily prompt calendar for this month as well as a mini journal to get them started.
Our hope is to help our students think of writing tasks in a positive way.
Please encourage your student to keep their pen moving constantly for 5 minutes- even if they are unsure of what to write in response to the prompt. Active engagement in brainstorming and on task doodling (rather than sitting and waiting for inspiration) will help students learn to actively tackle writing challenges. Also, allowing students to choose a fun writing tool or decorating their writing with stickers and drawings after completing their prompt can help keep the task fun! If you need additional pages- students can write on any available paper or visit the library for extra sheets!
Students should plan to bring their completed February journals to school on March 2nd to receive a Beanstack 'secret code'.
