Message from Dr. Eveslage, Superintendent of Schools
November brings us Thanksgiving and an opportunity to reflect on and share that there is so much for which we are grateful. Throughout the month, there will be several sponsored events to share gratitude and appreciation for our Veterans and show our generosity and kindness by helping others. Our Feed-a-Friend donations will soon begin to help others in our community have a more enjoyable holiday season. This, along with several other opportunities, will provide us the gift of putting our core values into action. Thank you in advance for contributing to a culture of community support.

I remain grateful to be a part of our Hatter community.

Bands from across the region came together, showcasing their talent and dedication to the art of marching band. The HHHS unit delivered a captivating routine that left a lasting impression, demonstrating the power of teamwork and musical prowess. The event was a resounding success, underscoring the enduring spirit of creativity and community within the arts.
Another Successful Keith Valley Challenge
The 48th Annual Keith Valley Challenge was a remarkable blend of camaraderie, spirited competition, and heartfelt charity. Embracing the essence of sportsmanship, eighth graders eagerly participated in various outdoor games, enthusiastic efforts fueled by a shared commitment to the Make-a-Wish foundation. The students rallied support and, through their collective efforts, successfully raised over $12,000. The challenge, initially conceived as a tribute to the memory of former student Billy Whitehead, exemplified the enduring spirit of compassion and resilience that resonates within the heart of the KV school community.
