This Week @ Hale

September 5-11

WELCOME BACK!

The PTA will be decorating each entrance to the building to spruce up your first day of school photos on Tuesday, September 6 for Grades 1 & 2 and again on Thursday, September 8 for Kindergarten.

After the kids are dropped off, please join us for free coffee outside Door 1 on 12th Avenue on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to celebrate the beginning of what we hope will be a fun, safe and memorable school year full of growing, learning and connecting for everyone in the Hale community.

Getting Involved

Watering help wanted

Our landscaping team could use a hand with watering the beautiful potted plants that are placed outside the doors our kids enter each day. We're looking for three families (one per entrance) living near Hale who are willing to water once or twice per week (depending on rainfall) for September and October or whenever they're done growing for the season.

Update Mailing List Preferences

Hale Spirit Wear update

We are going to be reconfiguring our spirit wear sales over the next few weeks, so please hold off placing any orders at this time. We expect to open up ordering again later this fall. We still have a few youth size medium t-shirts in both blue and yellow in stock from our back-to-school spirit wear sale available for $10. If you'd like to purchase one of those, email haleptacochair@gmail.com.

School supplies

The Hale PTA supplements school funding to provide supplies for all students. This is possible because of the generous donations Hale families make to the Hale No-Sale Fundraiser each November.
