Rob Buyea author visit with 4th and 5th graders. Fourth Graders Reflect on Rob Buyea’s visit. I heard him say, “Always keep your writing switch on.” I realized that you don’t only do writing (or think about writing) at your desk. You can think about writing in your everyday life. -- Fitsum.

Health Office Requests
It would be a great if classrooms had their own supply of some simple first aid supplies, to help limit unnecessary visits to our school nurse. Maybe parents could donate something from the following list to their classroom teacher? Non-latex bandaids, jars of vasoline, Saltines (unsalted is fine), unscented lotion, and kleenex. Thanks!

Friends of Haggerty
On behalf of the Friends of Haggerty, we would like to thank those who kindly donated to the annual winter fund. Due to the generosity of so many, we were able to meet our fundraising goal which will help fund programs that will continue to enrich the learning of the entire Haggerty community. We had over 45% participation, which is more than in years past. Continue to look in the Haggerty Holler for updates on how your donations make a difference - noted with FOH hand.

Thank you again for your continued support!
Lisa Harteveldt, FOH Chair

Classroom Celebrations and Food
In an effort to create a healthy school environment for all students, some guidelines have been developed to help guide teachers and families in the consumption of food during school. This arrived out of concerns raised by parents after annual events (Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Birthdays, end-of-year celebrations, etc). Read more >>
