Hawk Flock Family News
3/26/2021
Spring has sprung and as usual we are starting to really heat up, but it's not just the weather. Things at Hedden are starting to pick up pace as we have lots going on. I have included most everything via links and information in the boxes below, but I want to take some time really quick to highlight a couple things before you dig in.
First up, you'll see that the Kids Heart Challenge, which is coming to an end, has a WEEKEND CHALLENGE from Mr. Sinnes. We're closing in on $6,000 raised for this cause and if we hit that mark then a couple more staff will also be taking pies to the face, including me! Take a look at the information and video below.
You'll see too that I have included information about SelfieID, which is how we will be safely getting students pictures this year. Our secondary students have already gone through this process and now it's our turn. As you can see in the information below, you should expect an email from the company this coming week with directions. Please take the time over the next couple of weeks to get an image submitted for your student(s).
While there are a few other things that I hope you take the time to peruse, I want to end by letting you know that this coming week is again our Spirit Week. Our ASB have planned some fun dress up days for students and staff and we hope everyone can participate. We won't be doing it as a competition, just a bit of fun as we lead into spring break, which is coming up in just a week.
Please take a thorough look the rest of the newsletter along with our websites and feel free to reach out with question if you still have any.
Kind regards,
Don Sims
Hedden Elementary Principal
