Hardy Update 11/23

Happy Thanksgiving!  

This week, we give thanks for many things including the wonderful school to which our students go everyday. We must remember to thank the great staff who spent many hours last week talking to us about our students.  

Thanks to our Cheers team of Bridget Iovan, Jody Shade and Sabrina Heck and many other volunteers, the staff enjoyed great lunches on the two conference days. Special Thanks to Katie Price and the Little Caesars Pizza Kits team who baked fresh pizzas, breadsticks, and cookies right in the lounge! We also appreciate the discounts provided by Alekos and Pastry Palace. 

We also must thank the Book Fair Team of Kelly Woodard and Lindsay Bray with training help from Jenn McKay. They spent hours last week making sure students, families and teachers could purchase books. We also appreciate the volunteers who jumped in to ensure the sale could continue. All proceeds from the sale will benefit Hardy's library.  

Art Done Wright Sign-Ups are HERE!  Only a few spots remain!

This year, workshops will be sorted by age. However, grade 3-5 workshops are sold out!  If you are in grades 3-5 and would still like to participate, you may now sign up for the remaining spots in the JK-2 workshops.

Happy Wednesday! 

The Hardy PTO hosted a wonderful Veteran's Day Assembly and Breakfast yesterday.

Thank you to the Veterans and their families who attended, our two informative speakers, Mr. Allen Bialek, and Mr. Al from Operation Injured Solder, Mrs. Ginman and the Honor Guard students, Mrs. Rose & Mrs. Wright for the amazing art and music, the fantastic cafeteria staff, the South Lyon East Choir, Mr. Jim (Hardy's Building Engineer), Mr. Heitsch and Hardy's great staff, Biggby of New Hudson, and our hardworking volunteers. We hope that it was a positive experience for all!
