This Week @ Hale

Nov. 28 - Dec. 4

Hale & Field Holiday Helpers

For more than a decade, our community has generously provided some extra support and holiday cheer for Hale and Field families through the Holiday Helpers program. All donations can be dropped off at either school by Wednesday, Dec. 7. Contact Andrea Roethke (andrea.roethke@gmail.com) with questions.

Here's how you can help:

Support a family's essential needs. Sign up at the link below, and you will receive an individual list of essentials (think coats and pajamas), plus one or two fun extras, to purchase and drop off anonymously.

Purchase $25 or $50 gift cards for Aldi, Target, or Walmart to help families this season.

Scooter City: Under Construction

Physical education teacher Larissa Parr needs volunteer help to make the annual Scooter City event happen! If you can help with setup on Thursday, Dec. 1 (3:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.) and/or takedown on Friday, Dec. 16 (3:30 p.m. - 5 p.m.), please email her to sign up: larissa.parr@mpls.k12.mn.us.

Material donations (playsets, props, large stuffed animals, empty food containers) and home-built props are also welcomed. Props need to be durable and storable and fit inside the gym. Contact Mrs. Parr to see if what you have is usable or with other questions.
