A Message from the Principal
Deanne Froehlich, Principal
Dear Hayhurst School Community,
It is hard to believe that half of the school year has flown by. We have accomplished a lot of great learning and as I like to say I have scratched a few items off of my to-do list. We started the year with an Equity Grant from the Portland Schools Foundation, that allowed us to purchase a new laptop for all of the k-5th grade teachers. As a community, we raised enough money to purchase 30 new iMACs for the computer lab. The computers have been ordered and we will host an open house in the computer lab when they arrive and are set up. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a successful fundraiser. As our computer needs are on-going and of course, we have a few other items we could use to make our lab even better, we will continue to raise funds for technology for the rest of this year.
The Café and stage have a new look, thanks to Kay Stepp the wonderful grandma of Jackson Braem and Parker Hoot. Her donation allowed us to purchase new curtains for the stage, and wow what a difference it has made in the café. Thank you Kay!!
In December, we had a fabulous family math night, with lots of folks reporting that you practiced your math over the winter holiday. Tonight we will have another fabulous Multicultural Night, with wonderful food and entertainment. Thank you to all of the parents who helped put this event together.
Over the next few months we will host three Focus Information Nights (Feb. 15, March 7, and March 14th 6:30-8:00pm.) The district lottery window is between Feb.10-March 9th. Kindergarten Round-up will be on February 21st, from 6-7:30pm. Please tell all of your friends and neighbors to check out our kindergarten programs.
Grandparent’s and Special Friends day is on February 14th. Watch for a note coming home from your child’s teacher to tell you about classroom activities on the day of love.
On March 2nd, we will have our Dr. Seuss parade and celebrate Read Across America and our favorite storybook character. The parade will be from 1:00-1:45pm in the front of the school. We would love a parade audience, so put this on your calendar too.
On another note, we will be hosting the SW HOPE FOOD DRIVE from Feb. 19-April 1. This food drive supports our own neighborhood families in need. I am hoping that along with lots of canned food, each family could bring in one CASE of top ramien or cup of noodles, we will make a tower of noodle boxes and fill the food pantry for SW HOPE. More information will be coming shortly.
Thank you again for all of your wonderful support!!
Happy day!!
