Have a great rest of the summer, enjoy time with your family, and we'll see you soon!
Playground Update
- We are so excited...the City of Hayden has finally given us the green light to start moving/leveling dirt on the playground site!
- Logs were moved off the playground site in preparation for leveling to begin.
- Once leveled, our Eagle Scout project will begin and the swing set and slides will be installed.
- We are getting bids for cement for the half-court basketball court, sidewalks, and foundation for the mini-golf course.
- Fencing bids are still coming in and will be reviewed at Tuesday's playground committee meeting.
There should be much more to update you on in the August Newsletter, so stay tuned!

Foundation Donation Update
Classroom Climb-
Funds raised have been deposited in the Hayden Canyon Charter account. Now that we have been approved to start prepping the dirt, the funds are set to be used for fencing, cement, the tunnel for the Eagle Scout project and installation of the slides and swing set.
Annual Gala-
$40,000 was deposited into the Hayden Canyon Charter account for the direct purpose of funding technology and classroom supplies for our students. There was $40,000 expended for technology and $30,000 expended for classroom supplies. The $40,000 raised helped offset the budgetary cost of these items and helped provide our students with the tools they need to be successful and to have an enriching educational experience. A detailed budget report may be viewed upon request.
Our Foundation deserves a round of applause for their hard work and dedication by providing our school with the additional resources to make a positive impact on our students!
