Calendar Change: Staff Appreciation Day
At the December 14 Board of Education meeting, the Board officially approved a staff appreciation day on Friday, February 18 as a small token to recognize and show gratitude for the overwhelming hard work our staff members have put in this year. This was a top priority for the Board to show their continued support and appreciation for our teachers and staff. This means that all staff will have a paid day off in appreciation of everything they do. Knowing that this year has been a challenge for our staff members, we hope everyone can take that extra long weekend (including President's Day) as a time to recharge.The teacher workday that was scheduled for this day has been moved to February 17. Therefore, there will be no school for students on February 17, 18 or 21 (President's Day).
Wellness Committee
Did your family have a great time at Harvest Fest? Did you enjoy coming out and cheering your kids on at the Fun Run? Do you appreciate the fact that Charles Hay has a strong wellness focus and community feel?
These past two events have been put on by the Charles Hay Wellness Committee. The pace at which this small group of volunteers works to get these fun events together is not sustainable for the future. We would like to offer clubs, facilitate a Jump Rope for Heart (American Heart Association) fundraiser and event, a field day, and a Wellness Night over the course of the rest of this year.
In order to make these quality events, we need YOU! Please email PE Teacher/Wellness Committee Lead at: Kelly_Wilbert@engschools.net for ideas on how you can help support. (Emailing her does not mean you are committing to anything!)
