Wonderful Hyer Families,

As our annual Field Day approaches, we are excited to celebrate a day filled with fun, teamwork, and healthy competition. Our PTA, Dads Club and incredible volunteers have worked tirelessly to make this day an exciting and memorable experience for our sweet huskies. Thank you all for giving your time to make Friday the very best event for our kids. It will be a blast!

We believe that Field Day is not only an opportunity for physical activity, but also a chance to instill important values, such as good sportsmanship, in our students.

We kindly ask for your support in reinforcing the importance of good sportsmanship before, during, and after Field Day. Here are a couple ways we can work together to ensure a positive experience for everyone:

Remind your child to show respect to teammates, opponents, and parent volunteers. Encourage them to cheer for their classmates, regardless of the outcome. Positive encouragement can make a huge difference in boosting morale.

Emphasize the value of trying their best and giving their all in each activity. Winning is great, but effort and participation are equally important. Help your child understand that winning and losing are both part of any competition.

We believe that by promoting good sportsmanship, we can create a positive and inclusive environment where all students can enjoy Field Day to the fullest. Thank you for your continued support in teaching these valuable life lessons to our children.

Best regards,

Debbie

Field Day is Here!!! This Friday is the most fun day of the year for our Huskies, and we cannot wait to see how the competition shakes out! Your kids will participate in all their favorite games, and end the fun with dancing and a treat!

A few reminders as you prepare your Huskies for the competition:

• Please wear your favorite Hyer t-shirt!
  
• All swag will be provided Friday morning.
  
• Bring your own labeled water bottle - water will not be provided, your student’s water bottle will go with them
  

There will be no lunch visitors on Friday, May 15th. The only parents attending Field Day are those who are signed up to volunteer.

Huge thank you to our sponsor!!

We had the most amazing field trip to For the Nations to deliver SO many art supplies!! They were blessed beyond measure! We learned about what they do at For the Nations to serve children and families. They expect to have over 600 kids come to camp this summer. The art supply closet is filled!! If you would still like to donate, you may ship items from the Amazon wish list direct to the optional recipient address in Garland. Thank you Huskies for your abounding generosity! 💖

Hiii wonderful cafeteria volunteers!

Somehow we are in the final 12 days of school! Per usual with the end of year upon us, the cafeteria is getting a little wild. 🤪😵‍💫 Principal Burt sent along some reminders for us, so we can help keep things in line. Please take a moment to read!!!!

Kids shouldn't be out of their seats without a staff member's permission.

Students have been told that they can't interrupt their parents while they are working. When the parent is finished or in a moment of no service, they are welcome to visit their child at the table. Or, with staff permission, students can say hi to their parent on their volunteer day as long as they are not interrupting their service - AKA no student is allowed behind the ice cream counter or serving line!

Students are not allowed to visit a friend's parent

Thank y'all SOOO much for a great year - let’s keep it up for 12 more days!

Fourth graders must pay any negative cafeteria balances before the end of the year and their transition to MIS. To help ensure that no fourth grader has a negative balance at the end of the school year, fourth grader cafeteria balances will not be able to fall below negative $10. If any account falls below negative $10, the account in question will be turned off until payment is made. Please make sure your fourth graders have sufficient funds to pay for lunch. Any funds remaining in their account at the end of the year will follow your Husky to MIS.
