Good evening! Just a reminder that tomorrow is a Dress Down Day for ALL Nathan Hale students for Socktober. Thank you to everyone who donated!
Good evening! I’ve had a few parents ask about the WMS/WHS post regarding costumes and dress down tomorrow. That is NOT for NH. We will be celebrating next Friday with a whole school dress down day. We do have some classes tomorrow that earned a dress down day for monthly attendance winners. Ms. Washington, Ms. Flores, Mrs. Cook, Ms. Bass, Mrs. Showalter, and Mrs. Yurechko DO have a dress down day tomorrow. We wanted to make sure everyone got to do the dress down as a whole school for the Socktober so that is why ours will be next Friday.
Also, Nathan Hale brought in the most pairs of socks of all three schools, with almost 275 pairs! They earned a special treat that they will also enjoy next week! Thank you to everyone who donated!
Don't forget! Tomorrow is WALK or BIKE to School Day! Do NOT drop students off in front of Nathan Hale! We encourage all students to walk or bike to school tomorrow. If you must drive, please drop them off down by the Little League Fields and members of our National Honor Society will walk them down the sidewalk to Nathan Hale.
