FAREWELL TO MRS.  MCLEAN
Friday, Jan. 30 was the last day at Haisley for our beloved Media Specialist, Kim McLean.  The students gathered in front of the Media Center at the end of the day (all 408!) to clap her out!  Mrs. McLean has taken a new job at Clague Middle School. We congratulate her on her new position there. Those middle school students are so fortunate to have such a dedicated and talented media specialist! Mrs. Marcia Boik has taken her place through the end of the school year. Mrs. Boik is a certified teacher and has taken off running here at Haisley.  Please help us welcome her to Haisley!

PTO Survey - Last Call to be Heard
We want to hear from you! Each year the staff and PTO at Haisley field a host of questions regarding food in the classroom. To help establish a baseline for public opinion we've created a community survey. The last page includes a few additional questions about our communication tools. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Once collected, results will be shared with the entire community.

Haisley Yearbooks!
Yearbook order forms will be going out to families in early March with a deadline on orders of April 1st. We wanted families to know that this year there will be a cost associated with the orders. The cost will depend on a few factors: total number of orders, ads that are purchased by businesses and families, and printing costs. The hope is that the cost for each student will be between $8-$9.

HAISLEY PLAYERS DESIGN CONTEST WINNER 

The Haisley Players just announced the winner of the Schoolhouse Rock LIVE! Jr. design contest. It was a very tough a decision. There were 17 creative and amazing entries this year! The winning design was by Ava Prude from Ms. Harris' 4th grade class. Ava's design will be used on the T-shirts, posters, and program covers for this year’s production. She will receive a free T-shirt once they are printed. Congratulations, Ava!

The Haisley Players were very happy with ALL of the contest entries. They would like to thank everyone who entered. Great work everyone!!
Borrowed Clothes from the Office
If your child has borrowed clothes, (pants, sock, or what have you), from the office please be sure to clean them and return them as soon as possible.  Now that the cold wet weather is here you would be amazed at the number of clothes we hand out everyday.  If we do not get the  clothes we lend out back, it means either a child must sit in cold, wet clothes or, a call home needs to be placed.  Please try to remember to clean and return the clothes back to the office.  We can always use sweet pants and socks if you have any that you are no longer using!
