This Week @ Hale

August 22-28

Hello Hale Families,

The school year is coming in hot! We're looking forward to being together again and getting to know you better -- or for the first time.

HELP WELCOME HALE STAFF BACK TO SCHOOL

Hale teachers and staff return to the building this week! We would like to warmly welcome them back as they ready the building and their classrooms for our children.

Wednesday, August 24, all staff members return to school. We are looking for donations of coffee and pastries to be dropped off in the office at 7:45 am.

Tuesday, August 30, the PTA will provide all staff members with a pizza lunch. We would like to include beverage donations to be dropped off in the office by 11 am.

Thursday, September 1, all staff will be in the building for a regular work day and will stay late for the Open House in the evening. We would like to collect donations of beverages and snacks for some extra fuel. Please drop off donations in the office by 9 am.

If you are able, please sign up here to provide a specific donation on a specific day. We ask that all donations be dropped off in the office by the indicated time. For questions, please contact Jacki Cook at jackirpcook@gmail.com. Thank you for helping us celebrate and support the wonderful staff at Hale!

HELP WELCOME HALE FAMILIES BACK TO SCHOOL

We're looking for more volunteers to help at the Open House on Thursday, September 1, and on the first days of school: Tuesday, September 6 for the first and second graders and Thursday, September 8 for the kindergarteners.

Shifts will be short so you can still fully participate with your own family. Jobs will be fun and easy. If you can offer some time at either event, sign up to volunteer here.

See you soon,

The Hale PTA
