Handling the Heat at HES
 
As you know, it can get quite hot in the halls and rooms at Haddam Elementary, especially when the outside temperatures exceed 90 degrees. Today, your child may come home and tell you that he/she went to a portable classroom, the library or the gym, though they were not normally scheduled to do so.  We made a concerted effort to get every class in an air-conditioned room or cooler part of our building (lower level) for at least 45 minutes for the day.  (Teachers were happy to make some adjustments to schedules to accommodate!)  Students were also allowed to refill water bottles and get drinks from the fountain as needed throughout the day. 
 
Due the heat and humidity, students did not go outdoors for recess.  This was a districtwide decision in order to keep students safe.
 
We are hopeful for better weather in time for Field Day on Friday!
 
PTO Gift
 
Hello HES Parents,
A mom approached the PTO and asked if we could collect a small donation from students so that we may give Flo (the school's crossing guard) a gift.  I mentioned it during the last PTO meeting and someone suggested a brick in Flo's name and a gift certificate.  If you would like to contribute, please send in an envelope to the main office marked "Attn: Kristy Marinaro".

Thank you so much,
Kristy Marinaro

We are so grateful for the dedication of our school crossing guard!  We look forward to recognizing the important role she plays in the HES community.
