It was a good day for our Hays Fine Arts programs! Band, Choir, and Orchestra visited our elementary feeder schools to perform for the 5th graders and give them a little taste of what they can look forward to next year!

Four of our outstanding 8th graders, Arjun, Ryder, Julia, and Kailey, participated in a student panel at N2 Learning's Teacher Leader Institute. They spoke about their school experiences and offered valuable insights to teacher leaders and administrators from across PISD!

Our December Star Polishers are total rockstars! Congratulations to Mr. Acevedo, CTE teacher, and Ms. Bushra, Life Skills aide. 🌟

Our elective classes have so much to offer our students! Whether honing a talent or discovering something new they enjoy, electives allow our Hawks to let loose and get creative. Today it was "human foosball" in PE and "plush mallows" in art. What's not to love?!

The hard work and dedication of our basketball Teachers of the Week does not go unnoticed, and we're so glad to have them supporting our student-athletes each day!

"Smiling's my favorite!" Our staff had the best time smiling and being silly with Buddy the Elf today!
