 All around Haycock, students are getting ready for Field Day and enjoying some folk dancing together
Dear Haycock Families,
Happy Memorial to all. In spite of the rainy weekend, we honor and remember those who have made the supreme sacrifice for our country.
This is a reminder that tomorrow is a work day for teachers and Wednesday is a holiday for Eid al-Adha. We will look forward to seeing our students back at school on Thursday, May 28.
Friday, May 29, is field day. The weather looks like it will cooperate! Many thanks to the over 85 parents/guardians who have volunteered to help with field day. We ask that if you are not signed up to volunteer that you do not come to field day to watch your child. This makes a smooth running of field day much more difficult. We promise to make sure all students have fun, are safe, and that we take lots of pictures to share.
Please put Thursday, June 4 on your calendar. We'll have a community picnic on the fields behind Haycock. This is a great way to finish up the year and close the 70th year celebration for Haycock. Join us out back with a packed picnic dinner (food trucks will also be available) from 5-7. We hope to see you at this fun end of year event to bring us all together.
With appreciation for your partnership,
Liz Beaty, Principal embeaty@fcps.edu
Heather Boyd, AP HABoyd@fcps.edu
Krystal Styles, AP krstyles@fcps.edu
