🍁 Happy Thanksgiving from Hatfield! 🍁
What a busy week we have shared together leading up to break! From writing about what we’re thankful for, reflecting on kindness and giving back, helping our turkeys stay hidden with creative disguises, and celebrating our loved ones during Grandparent Day 2025, Hatfield students have been learning, creating, and connecting!
From the Happy Hatfield Staff, we want to wish all of our students and families a Happy Thanksgiving! Take this week to rest, unwind, and enjoy time with loved ones...along with all the festive foods and celebrations that make this season special. We’ll see everyone back at Hatfield on Monday, December 1, 2025! Be safe, be thankful, and enjoy your Thanksgiving! 🦃
Check out our Hatfield Breakfast & Lunch Menu for December 1–19!
We’ve got lots of tasty options to keep our students fueled up and ready to learn as we head into the holidays.

Happy Friday from Hatfield!
We had an exciting Friday at Hatfield! We began the day with an act of kindness that will make a big impact this winter. The Knights of Columbus generously donated coats for our students in need, ensuring they stay warm during the cold months ahead. We are so grateful for this wonderful organization and their continued support of our Hatfield kids.
Later in the day, the Lawrence County Community Foundation stopped by to surprise several of our teachers with Great Grant Awards! These teachers applied for grants that will help bring engaging, hands-on learning activities into their classrooms. Congratulations to Mrs. Thomas (Preschool), Mrs. Clouse (Art), Ms. Ochs (Kindergarten), and Mrs. Whaley (2nd Grade). We are so proud of each of you and can’t wait to see the incredible experiences you create with your grant awards. Thank you to the Lawrence County Community Foundation for supporting our teachers and investing in opportunities that extend student learning.
Have a wonderful weekend, Hatfield Families!
