News & Notes from Josiah Haynes Elementary School

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
I am likely not alone in having set 2021 in my mind as a fresh start, a new beginning following a difficult year. Instead, 2021 has opened with challenge, upheaval and unease across the country. While none of us really thought 2020 would turn into a pumpkin at midnight, the reality of struggle and strife reminds us that there are no quick fixes that bring about hope and harmony.
But we have reason for hope.
Vaccines. Mitigation. Increasing skill sets. Longer days. Peace.
As we move ahead into the start of a new year, I invite you to join with me in thinking of what can be with a vision of new possibilities. There may not be a more realistically-optimistic perspective. Recognize all that has changed us, all that we have changed, and how strong we have grown. Together, in the new year, let us not miss those new possibilities.
Sincerely,
Jeff LaBroad
Principal

Welcome Officer Billy!
Haynes is pleased to welcome Sudbury Police Officer Billy Crisafulli as our new School Resource Officer. A native of Natick, Officer Billy is a graduate of Mount Ida College where he was a fullback on the football team. He went on to join the Natick Police Department before coming to Sudbury. When not working, you can find Billy woodworking, hiking, camping or on his motorcycle.
Please join me in welcoming Officer Billy to his new role!
