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.
