HYER HUSKIES OF THE WEEK

LAYTON

Layton was nominated by Mrs. Pierce as this week's Hyer Husky of the Week. Mrs. Pierce says, "Two kindergarten students were looking to turn in their library books. Layton noticed they were needing a little assistance and escorted them to the library!"

TAYLOR

Taylor was nominated by Miss Johnson as this week's Hyer Husky of the Week. Miss Johnson says, "Taylor is brand new to Hyer and has displayed every characteristic of a model Hyer Husky. Taylor takes on every challenge with positivity and enthusiasm; her leadership skills are displayed every single day in our classroom, and she is kind to each and every one of her peers. Way to go, Taylor!"

STELLA

Stella was nominated by Ms. Braud as this week's Hyer Husky of the Week. Ms. Braud says, "Stella is a shining example of what it means to be a great friend! She is always kind to others and has a great way of making everyone feel welcome!"

October 23 - Monday, November 6

It's time to gear up for our Fall Fundraiser! Read On HYER is a unique fundraiser created and developed by the Hyer PTA with two primary goals - to encourage our children to find a passion for reading and to raise necessary funds that allow our school to remain innovative and progressive during financially challenging times in public education. Not only do the kids love getting rewards for reading, but Read On HYER allows us to keep our fundraising dollars at Hyer instead of paying an outside fundraising company.

Read On HYER is simple!

Students obtain pledges for sessions of reading time. CLICK HERE to find out all the details about Read On HYER! Look for more details to come in the Husky Herald and in the brochure that will come home with students on Friday, October 20th. Thank you for supporting our 4th Annual Read On HYER program! Contact Karin Shoffner at kshoffner@gmail.com if you have questions.
