Dearest Hyer Families,

Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week! On behalf of the Hyer staff, I wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for your invaluable contributions as parent volunteers and collaborators in the education of our Hyer Huskies. Your dedication and enthusiasm make a significant impact on our school community, and we are incredibly grateful for all that you do! 

From organizing classroom parties and chaperoning field trips, to making copies, working in the cafeteria, volunteering at special events, greeting students, and opening car doors in the morning - along with other countless ways you give to our school - your time and effort do not go unnoticed. Your willingness to go above and beyond to support our students and teachers truly makes a difference in creating a positive and enriching learning environment.

It's inspiring to see passion from our parents about the education and the well-being of our children. Your involvement not only enhances the educational experience, but also fosters a sense of community and collaboration that is truly special. Thank you for being a shining example of generosity and kindness, and for making a lasting impact on the lives of our students.

Warm regards,

Debbie

Debbie Burt, Principal

A BIG thank you to the home team — the MANY parent volunteers who have spent countless hours and bounds of energy blessing our students, teachers, and staff. Your commitment to our school enhances the experience for our children and truly makes Hyer Elementary the best of the best.

A very special thank you to the PTA Board of Officers and Directors. Your love for our school and our kids made the year of Homerun Hyer one that we will never forget. We are rounding third and heading for home — what a phenomenal year!
