Dear Hayshire Families,
Last Saturday, Central York Communities that Care hosted their annual Sweetheart Spaghetti Dinner at Hayshire! The evening, themed around Valentine's Day and family fun, included delicious food, family door prizes, children's crafts, and music!
The CYSD Diversity Celebration is now being held on February 25 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.
There's more fun to come in the upcoming weeks! Monday, February 24 is the kick off for the Hayshire Read-A-Thon. We will celebrate with a whole school assembly! Flyers will go home on Monday. Please see below for more details.
Mark your calendar! Thursday, February 27 from 6:00 to 7:00 PM is our Family Reading Night. There will be guest readers, snacks, and a bookmark making station! Bring books and a blanket to cuddle up and read with your family. Don't forget to wear your pajamas!
During the second week of our Read-A-Thon, Hayshire will celebrate Read Across America. Beginning Monday, March 3, we will participate in the District-Wide Spirit Week!
Have a great weekend!

Hayshire's Latest Post
In Social Studies, third grade learned about three important symbols in America. Here's what they had to share...
One of the symbols is the Liberty Bell. It symbolizes liberty for our country. Liberty is freedom.
Another symbol is the flag. The flag symbolizes the original 13 colonies and the 50 stars stand for the 50 states.
We also learned about the Statue of Liberty. It is on Liberty Island between New York and New Jersey. It also symbolizes freedom.
We created something to represent a symbol of us. Each of us made a flag. All the flags have different symbols that stand for things that tell about us.

Parent-Teacher Conferences
Our next round of conferences will take place on Thursday, March 13 and Friday, March 14. Once again, families will use Skyward to schedule a Parent-Teacher Conference. The Conference Scheduler will open in Skyward on Tuesday, February 18 at 8:00 AM. This will allow you flexibility to select a time. The Parent-Teacher Conference provides a time to meet with the teacher and learn more about your child's progress, academically, socially, and emotionally. We know that success for your child is family and school working together!
