The OKC Barons, soon to be defunct, are making a visit to Hayes Elementary on the 27th.
We have an A.R. field trip planned for the 29th of this month. We have room for 25 kiddos. Push your students to be reading and taking A.R. quizzes so they can go!
As many of you know Ms. Blythe had a successful surgery. She is recovering at home. She has decided to retire and spend more time with her family.
Ms. Scarritt lost her mother this past weekend. Please keep her in your thoughts. Ms. Bozeman lost her grandmother. Keep her in your thoughts.
We have after school meetings tomorrow and next Tuesday. Please make sure to attend. Thank you.
