Haisley Blog, Signing Off.....
We have good/great/excellent/amazing news!!! AAPS is transitioning to a new website provider, SchoolWires. With SchoolWires sites, there will be a "school announcements" function on the main Haisley webpage, which will essentially take the place of this blog.
There will be no more new posts to this blog, unless the Haisley community decides that this blog fills a communication need. :)
Thoughts/comments about this? Contact Haisley webmaster, Kristin Stoops.

LOOKING FOR CHAMPIONS!
If you’ve ever thought about stepping forward now is the time. The fall auction raises nearly 40% of the PTO budget. Planning for fall has stalled pending a leadership committee. We need of 3-5 parents to organize and facilitate the event. Individual duties that need to be completed include invitations & marketing, food & decorations, acquisitions and close administration. If we do not have volunteers by May we will cancel the 2015 auction. That will seriously jeopardize PTO funding for our next school year. Help save our enrichment activities! Those interested should contact Jen Sauld (jennifersauld@gmail.com) or Jimmy Simonte (jimmy.simonte@gmail.com, cell:734-358-0095).

2015 Haisley Walkathon News
Hello Haisley Families:
The 2015 Haisley Walkathon is just around the corner! This year the event is scheduled forThursday, May 21st. The lower el will walk from 9:30-11:30am and the upper el will walk from 1:30-3:30pm. WE NEED YOUR HELP to make this event a success. Here are a few ways you may be able to help:
1) CORPORATE DONATIONS: Currently, I am soliciting local business to see if they can make cash donations towards our event. Last year we raised almost $4k before the walkathon took place. We used this money to cover the costs of t-shirts and other event day costs.
2) VOLUNTEERS: Please consider volunteering for this event. Mark your calendar and let me know if you are interested in counting laps, preparing for the event on race day, and also cleaning up once the event is over!
3) SOLICIT CASH DONATIONS: Every child will be sent home with an envelope requesting they raise money for the event. Last year, we almost raised $19k. This year, we hope to raise over $20,0000. Please ask neighbors, friends, and family to support your child's efforts. We will be offering on-line donations this year, so it will make it easier to donate!
Any questions? Would you like to volunteer? Do you have a company that would like to make a donation? Please contact Susan Courtright: susanmidwest@aol.com
Go Huskies!

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!
