A Family Night at the Movies

Oh my, oh my - what a blast we had with this amazing new Hayes tradition!!

An auditorium filled to the brim, concession sales that rivaled the AMC, parent volunteers who kept the school spotless, a raffle to win the whole Wild Robot series - and most importantly, joyous children! Who could ask for more?

Special thanks to Jon Zurawski for his vision of this event, and for his leadership together with Chesley Huffman. Three movie nights done, 100+ more to come!

And thank you to all the parent volunteers who helped Jon and Chelsey make this a success: Faith Yuh, David Yuh, Juliana Mariani, Nathalie Roberts, Thad Roberts, and Julie Hong!

Hayes family night at brookline booksmith

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Thursday night, 11/7, for shopping and socializing at Brookline Booksmith! It was lovely to see so many friends in support of this community tradition.

With your support, Booksmith raised more than $1,000 for the PTO during two hours of shopping - THANK YOU! 

Special gratitude to the volunteers of all ages who donated their time, positivity, and raffle items: Faith Yuh, David Yuh, Jamie Moroco, Jennifer Segel, Prachi Biwalkar, Manti Thakuria, Artie Jones, Chelsey Huffman, Deepa Prusty, and Rachel Freedman.

SY24-25 Hopes and dreams wall

In September, we revived an old PTO tradition - the wall of hopes and dreams for the new school year! For two months, students, parents and staff wrote inspiring, funny, heartwarming messages. It was great to see the wall grow!

As planned, the wall is now down to give way to new projects and announcements. But the messages can keep you inspired for a whole year (or more)!
