Popcorn Day is coming to Hayes on Wednesday, January 28th! Popcorn is $1 per bag (limit one bag per child).

On Friday, February 27, one of our classes will be recognizing Rare Disease Day (officially observed on February 28). The school is proud to support their efforts to raise awareness and show kindness to individuals living with rare diseases.

This recognition is especially meaningful as one of our students is living with several extremely rare diseases. To support the class’s efforts, a shirt campaign is being organized. Families who wish to participate may purchase a shirt, which can be worn on February 27. Due to shipping timelines, orders will be open for 3–4 weeks. The Rare Disease shirt order form is available for those interested.

Thank you for your support.
