Winter Break is here! This is a time for students and families to rest, recharge, and enjoy the season together. Whether it’s celebrating holidays, traveling, or simply relaxing at home, we hope everyone finds moments of joy and connection. School will resume refreshed and ready for a new year of learning. Until then, we wish our Hayes families a safe, restful, and happy Winter Break! We will see students on Tuesday, January 6th!

Hayes students came together to play against the Hayes Staff in a volleyball game Friday morning. Lots of fun and great sportsmanship was had!

Thank you for everyone who donated to Sheldons Fundraiser. Hayes students were able to raise $545 for Canines For Change. 

The school news is a completely student-led operation. They work hard creating and putting together content each week! They analyze and critique each episode as a class on Mondays and aim to improve each week. Thank you for supporting and encouraging our students. Here is a link for this week's episode. 

The Hayes/Beagle PTO is making things happen for our students, and we’d love for you to be part of it! There’s no cost to join—just an opportunity to connect, stay informed, and support the programs and events that make our schools great.

Want a say in how fundraising dollars support students? Looking for a fun way to give back? We need volunteers for dances, field trips, teacher appreciation, and more—whether you have an hour or a whole afternoon, every bit helps!

Join us and see how you can make a difference! 

The next meeting is on Tuesday, January 13th, 2026 at 6:30 pm in the Beagle Media Center. 

There is NO meeting in December.
