HHH September 13, 2024

For this week's information about our School Committee, after school enrichment opportunities, community events, sports, fundraisers and more please click the orange box below to read this week's All Schools News.

An archive of previous All School News' can be found here, or by clicking the link on the front page of the Wayland public Schools' website.

Thank you to the 44 families who have confirmed that they have read the HH Family Handbook by completing this two question Google Form. You can always find requests like this right in "The Hawk" as well as our Family Newsletter. If you haven't done so already, I ask that you kindly do this as soon as possible.

Additionally, you may have noticed the new Happy Hollow Logo being used in our letters and website. Our educators did much work throughout last year in collaborating on, exploring, confirming, and committing to our school values. A number of our staff, including art, music and library specialists along with classroom teachers teamed up over the summer to create our beautiful new logo and We Soar song.

We are proud to share the values that will serve as the foundation for our community culture and will inspire the work we do for ourselves and others:

• Work Hard

• Enjoy School

• Show Kindness

• Open Our Minds

• Act Responsibly

• Respect Others

You will see the logo and values displayed throughout our building. We’ll celebrate the values in our classrooms, at our assemblies, on the playground and throughout the school day. We even have a new Happy Hollow stuffed Hawk (soon to be named by our students) that will rotate amongst the classrooms.

We know that together at Happy Hollow, WE SOAR!

Best,

Nicolette Foundas, Principal
