Principal's Message
When I was a teacher, celebrating the first day of winter was always a big deal in my classroom. The winter solstice, of course, is the shortest day of the year. The day arriving meant that there would not be a day ahead with greater darkness, and that we would see more light each day ahead. In the darkest days of the year, this was an exciting thing for my students and me to remember. Right now, we are all eager to see the lightness and brightness ahead. In this season of light, we have much to celebrate and for which to be grateful—and reasons to be hopeful for what is ahead.
The Haynes team joins me in wishing you a joyous holiday season and a safe, peaceful December vacation.
Sincerely,
Jeff LaBroad
