Thank you to our PTO/Diversity Committee (DivCo) for making our second annual Career Day a huge success! The speakers were so knowledgeable and engaging. We were also very impressed by our young scholars and the very thoughtful questions they posed.
Here are three more 5th grade videos for your enjoyment:
On June 5th, Hatch school will be hosting our annual Field Day extravaganza! This year, Field Day will be divided into a morning and an afternoon session. Throughout the day, our awesome students will be placed into mixed grade level groups and along with a staff member, will travel throughout the school playing games at a variety of different stations. Fantastic parent volunteers will be helping out by running stations for the traveling teams of students.
*Special thanks to all the people that help out to make this possible. Thank you to the over 20 volunteers that are needed to make this work, the teachers who allow us to use their classrooms and tireless administrative staff members who fill in the gaps to make this a fun and worthwhile event ☺ Please see the sign up link to volunteer! https://signup.com/go/wxZhCJV
