January 3

Dear Hayshire Families,

A warm welcome back to all of our students, staff, and families as we kick off 2025! The second part of the school year is an exciting time as we embrace all of the possibilities that lie ahead. The month of January is a wonderful time to revisit our Hopes and Dreams. Let's make this new year one filled with exciting discoveries, learning, and community building!

Save the date! Central York Communities That Care is hosting the annual Sweetheart Spaghetti Dinner at Hayshire Elementary. The dinner will take place on Saturday, February 8 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. See the flyer below for more details. Tickets are limited! It's a family-friendly event designed to build community!

I would like to extend best wishes to all for a happy and healthy new year.

Mrs. Thomas

There was a lot of learning happening at Hayshire during the month of December. Children were reading, writing, learning new math concepts, and conducting science experiments!

Sprinkled throughout the month were many special moments. It was a month filled with caring, community building, and delight. To learn more, click on the button below, A Delightful December!

We have a very active Optimist Club at Central York High School! This is the first time Optimist International is offering a contest to elementary age students. This exciting competition is designed to encourage and celebrate youth visual art skills! The topic for the contest is Bringing Out the Best.

Several classrooms are still in need of a volunteer. Please see below for more details!

The CYSD Diversity Celebration is being held on February 12 from 6:00-8:00 at the HS. This event is a chance to highlight the unique experiences, perspectives, and cultures within our community. The event will feature school and community tables to explore, a selection of international treats to enjoy, and a special presentation beginning at 7:15 PM, where students and staff will have the opportunity to share "their story" through a variety of formats, including performances and spoken word.

This year, the Diversity Celebration Committee is seeking more involvement from students and staff in the K-6 buildings to participate in the celebration by sharing their stories, artwork, and other talents in the celebration of diversity and inclusion. Students and staff can write a story about their specific culture, family traditions, journey to Central, their native language, and learning English as a second language. Participants can read their own stories or choose someone else to read. In addition, students and staff can present their culture-related artwork, songs, and/or dances at the celebration.
