We have two weekends of fun coming up at Worthington Hooker School! Join us on 2/21 for our Lunar New Year celebration, and on 2/28 for our Black History Month celebration!
Today at Worthington Hooker School, our classrooms were filled with laughter, teamwork, and meaningful connections during our Buddy Activity Day!
These buddy moments are about more than just fun — they help build confidence, responsibility, and a strong sense of belonging across grade levels. Watching our older students guide and support their younger peers was a beautiful reminder of the caring community we continue to grow together.
