Hatherly Happenings

This week we had the pleasure of listening to our fourth and fifth grade students perform. Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. DaSilva did an incredible job preparing our young performers.

Soon we will be gathering once again to celebrate our fifth graders before they head off to middle school. Students in fifth grade have been encouraged to volunteer to take on a speaking role within the program. The program will be on the morning of June 23rd at 9:30. PTO will be welcoming audience members at 9:00 with coffee and conversation. The program will take place outside on the blacktop. Each year families create posters for their student to display during the end of the year. This year families will come together on the evening of June 14th to work on the posters together.

On June 21st we will be returning to the fan favorite, Field Day. If anyone is interested and available, families are welcome to volunteer to help throughout the day. This is definitely a time when more is merrier.

This morning we had the fabulous opportunity to meet our new kindergarten students. Students and their families had the chance to meet with staff and learn about their new school. We are excited to have them join us on September 8th.

As we begin to close out the year, please remember I am here to help in any way I can. If you have questions about upcoming events or specifics concerning your student, please do not hesitate to reach out the school.

Hatherly's Summer Reading Book Fair is this coming week during your child's library class in the library. There will also be a Family Night on Tuesday, June 7th from 5:30pm-7pm that you won't want to miss! Nona's ice cream truck will be here giving out ice cream cones!

Do you need some new books for the summer? Bring in new or “almost new” books or consider donating a new book and those books will be available for students to take home for the summer!

Bring in 1 or 2 new or “almost new” books to the Family Night at the Book Fair on Tuesday, June 7th from 5:30-7:00. You will also have the opportunity to purchase a book to donate at the Book Fair. Books can be sent in to school during the week of June 13th-17th. Books need to be appropriate for K-5 students and in good condition.

On June 24th, students will be able to go to the book swap and take home a free book to read over the summer! Depending on the amount of donations, we may be able to send children home with more than 1 book.

Enjoy reading your book this summer! If you finish your book and would like another, return your book to Hatherly School and pick a new book at our book exchange on July 12th from 9am to 11am!

At our last School-Home Connection Meeting the topic of transitions was discussed. Please find the presentation here for your reference on how to help your child during transitions, such as end of the year, back to school, and transitioning to middle school.

Save time buying your school supplies for the next school year by ordering a convenient, grade-specific school supply kit online now. Each kit includes all the grade-specific school supplies listed on the school supply lists on the Hatherly website for your student. The kits will be delivered directly to the school and a pick up day will be arranged before school starts in September. The website to order a school kit is www.shopttkits.com, the school code is 86077, and the deadline is 6/15. Parents can contact Allison Harrington with any questions at allisoneizenberg@gmail.com.

Field Day is back at Hatherly School and we need your help! Field Day is always a fun and exciting day. Field Day will take place on Tuesday, June 21st with a rain date of June 22nd. There will be a morning shift and an afternoon shift. Please consider signing up for one or both shifts. When you arrive for your shift please check in at the table set up in front the school. You will be assigned your station then. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

In our culture we are often taught to “be independent,” “worry about yourself,” or to “mind your own business.” But the truth is, our lives are interconnected in so many ways and none of us can do it on our own. Often these attitudes can lead to us feeling unable to ask for help when we need it and being less likely to intervene on someone else’s behalf when we see them struggling. Try fostering a culture of mutual support within your community by reaching out to those around you when you are struggling and offering specific supports that are within your capacity to others around you when you notice they are having a hard time.
