March 23, 2026 / Robert S. Hyer Elementary School

Dear Hyer Families,


It is with our deepest heartfelt, appreciation that we thank you for the "Spring Green" gift given to all staff members the week before Spring Break. Through our auction and other fundraising events this year, many of you clearly communicated that you wanted your generous financial gifts to be shared directly with the Hyer staff for their commitment and dedication to our students. Because of your generosity, each staff member received a special gift in the form of a check from PTA before Spring Break. This "Spring Green" was significantly more than teachers and staff received in previous years because of how clearly you all expressed a desire to give more to our staff. We are sincerely humbled and blessed by your kindness and this selfless gift. While thank you seems like such simple words to truly convey how appreciative we are, many thanks for this true blessing.


With love and appreciation,

The Hyer Staff
