Hello Haysboro Families!
Please see below for our weekly updates.
Woodman Students
We were grateful to be able to share our day with some amazing students from Woodman today. They brought some activities to share with the students and stayed with them during the morning. Thank you to the staff and students from Woodman for taking the time to support our school!
Clothing and Weather
As we move into the colder months, we want to remind you that students will go outside daily unless it is extremely cold or wet. Thank you in advance for ensuring that your Haysboro School student arrives with clothing appropriate for the weather. We would also recommend that families consider keeping extra clothing in student backpacks for those days when it's a bit warmer and the melting snow makes their clothes wet.
Lost and Found
Our lost and found has been growing! We will bring students by the tables a few more times next week to find/claim items. After that, some will be moved to our emergency clothing supply, and the rest will be donated. Please see the attached pictures to take a look for your child's items as well!
Winter Events
We will be having some holiday fun with staff and students over the next few weeks. Please see below for a list of specific events during the last week. Participation is optional.
Monday Dec 15 - DEAR day - A special day where teachers will suddenly stop teaching and move to another classroom to share their favorite winter/holiday story with another class.
Tuesday Dec 16 - Ugly Sweater Day
Wednesday Dec 17 - Reindeer antler/Santa Hat/Decoration/Fun Hat Day
Thursday Dec 18 - Candy Cane Colour Day – Wear clothes in your favourite candy cane colour, they can be solids or stripes

This holiday season, Haysboro Hawks and their families are invited to support families in our school community by donating gift cards. Gift cards to Superstore, Canadian Tire, Amazon, gas stations, grocery stores and fast-food restaurants are appreciated. Please choose denominations of $25 or less in order to support more families. Thank you for your generosity!
We will gratefully accept last minute donations on Monday and then will begin sorting and distribution.
If your family would benefit from this support program, please contact Mr. Bennett at ecbennett@cbe.ab.ca or 403-777-8530. All information will be kept strictly confidential.
Fun Lunch
Haysboro School Council is pleased to continue to offer monthly fun lunches through Healthy Hunger for the new school year. Proceeds from fun lunches are directed back to the School Council account to support initiatives like student experiences, field trips, etc.
Meals will be delivered at lunchtime to students in grade 1-6 and Kindergarten students who attend Maple Roots after school program.
If you would like to participate, you can register with Healthy Hunger if you haven't already through the following link: https://healthyhunger.ca/parent-help
Parking lot
A gentle reminder that our school parking lot is fully assigned to staff in the school and the associated offices. While a spot may be open during the day, that staff member may be returning at any time. Additionally, for the safety of people who may be walking through the parking lot and the vehicles inside, we need to keep traffic to a minimum. If you are dropping off, picking up or coming in to ask a question, we ask that you park on the street (watch out for the bus zone!) and walk into our building. Thank you very much for your support.
Important Dates:
December 19 - Last Day of School
December 20-January 4 - Winter Break
January 5 - Classes Resume
Have a wonderful weekend!
Erin Bennett and Andrea Westine
