Dear Hyer Families,

As Teacher Appreciation Week begins this week, I want to thank you all again for the many ways you support and care for the incredible staff members at Hyer. Your time, gifts, words of encouragement, and partnership with our teachers is invaluable to the success of every student in our school.

We are blessed to have a PTA whose mission includes supporting the needs of our staff, celebrating them often, and caring for each and every staff member. Thanks to your generous support, the PTA has provided many treats for us throughout the year and this week, they have amazing week planned that will spoil each of us with treats and surprises. What a gift! We are grateful for your contributions that make this week, and every teacher appreciation event, so special for all of us.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the outstanding educators at Hyer who continue to have such a positive impact on our community and children.

The end of the rodeo at Boot Scootin' Hyer is in sight. I look forward to the fun weeks ahead and making memories with our students during the last few weeks of school!

Humbly,

Debbie

This week, we celebrate the heart of our school—our incredible teachers and staff. Every day, you show up with patience, creativity, and dedication, shaping not only young minds but confident, kind, and curious individuals.

From early mornings to late afternoons, from lesson plans to comforting hugs, your impact reaches far beyond the classroom. You inspire a love of learning, encourage growth, and create a safe, welcoming place where every child can shine.

To our amazing Hyer Husky teachers and staff—thank you for the countless ways you go above and beyond, often without recognition, to make a difference in the lives of our students and families.

Our school is stronger because of you, and our Huskies are brighter because of your care. We appreciate you today and every day. 💙🐾

Here is what the PTA has in store for this week to spoil our teachers!

DADS CLUB UPDATE!

Mother's Day Coffee!

Hyer Dads Club will have Herb’s House “The Herbster” coffee truck at Hyer from 7:30 -9:00 a.m. this Friday to say Thank You to all the Hyer Moms for Mother’s Day!   Stop by with your fellow Hyer Moms for a free Friday morning coffee!

We need your help to make this a success!

We’re looking for volunteers to assist with before- and after-school shopping. Your time and support make a big difference—thank you for helping us celebrate our amazing teachers and staff!

Please help us spread the word so that our book fair can be shared with the neighborhood! The Book Fair will be open to the public Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday after school 3:15-4:30!

Calling all Huskies - get ready for the most fun day of the year! Field Day is coming up on Friday, May 15th, and we can’t wait!!!

We’ll have all your favorite games, plus a big surprise to end the day and celebrate the end of our Boot Scootin’ year.

For the moms asking, brace yourselves — things will look a little different: there will be no grade-level colors! Instead, have your child wear their favorite Hyer t-shirt and come ready for fun. Huskies will receive everything they need to participate when they arrive at school that day!

We need lots of moms and dads to help make this day a great success, so grab your friends and sign-up here!

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.
