Balls, balls and more balls!!!
At the request of our PTO teacher representatives, each classroom was given a bag of balls to use during their own recess time! Each class received a basketball, soccer ball, mini football and play ground ball. Jump ropes are also on the way! Go play kids!!!!
Hardy Celebrates the SEASON OF LIGHT
Ms. deFransisco has received so many compliments about the decorations in the front of the school, that we decided to continue with the beautification of Hardy. MONDAY DECEMBER 2 at 6:00pm, we will light up the Japanese Gate and the Hardy School sign with beautiful white lights! All holidays in the month of December involve the celebration of light and we want our community to know that we celebrate with them! To this end, we will be stringing lights Sunday December 1 from 3-430. We need a LOT of lights to make it glow, so please consider donating some strands of outdoor white lights to the cause. You can leave them in the office or find me on the playground! Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

AYCC came and picked up all of the wonderful food and gift card donations last Friday and were overwhelmed by the generosity of our community. I am so proud to be a part of this school and you should be too!
