Dear Hayshire Families,
We have spirit, yes we do! We have spirit, how 'bout you? Our students had a great time participating in the Homecoming Spirit Days. And, our Hayshire staff had a lot of fun at the Homecoming Parade. Our walking float featured Favorite Storybook Characters. This is a time-honored tradition for Hayshire!
For the month of October, our special teachers and specialists had the honor of selecting Hayshire Students of the Month. Congratulations to Dexlyn Altland from kindergarten and Kevin Beshay from first grade for receiving this recognition. Both children demonstrate values such as perseverance, character, community, accountability, and excellence! Dexlyn and Kevin were recognized at Monday's school board meeting.
National Fire Prevention Month is celebrated every October to raise awareness about the importance of fire safety. On Tuesday, York Area United Fire and Rescue came to Hayshire Elementary. Lieutenant Mowry and his crew taught us about fire safety. Our very own Mr. Shuey demonstrated how to wear the fire safety gear!
Tonight's the night for those who purchased tickets in advance! Hayshire is having a School Spirit Night at Laser Alleys from 6- 8:00 pm.
Today is the last day! Stuff-A-Mascot orders are due Friday, October 11! See below for more details from our Hayshire PTO.
Remember to mark your calendar! Our first Hayshire Family Night is scheduled for Thursday, October 17 from 6:00 pm until 7:30 pm. This event will involve pumpkin decorating. Families will bring their own pumpkin and creativity! All supplies will be waiting for you. In addition to the pumpkins, we will have the Scholastic Book Fair! Sarah's Creamery is coming too! 20% of what they make will go back to our Hayshire PTO.
There is no school for students on Monday, October 14. Enjoy the long weekend!
Take care!
Mrs. Thomas
Principal
