DOORS Please make note that we will be locking the main entrance doors of the school at 4:00 pm every day. If you come for an after school activity/event or to pick up a student, you will need to use the activity doors to the left of the main entrance. In addition, no one is allowed beyond the double wood doors by the upper gym, unless it is for a school-sponsored event.

SPREAD THE LOVE FOOD DRIVE Start gathering your food donations for our annual Spread the Love Drive to benefit the Hartland Food Pantry! We will be accepting nonperishable items from Monday, Feb.4th until Friday, Feb. 15th in the big barrels located at the front of the school. With all the days off due to the weather, our barrels are empty so hopefully we can start filling those up by the 15th. The breakfast however was able to raise over $300 so thank you to all who contributed. Student Council will again be selling cupcakes and water at home basketball games during the Food Drive. We were able to raise $810 last year from these sales for the Hartland Food Pantry! The last week we have fun incentives days with some dress up included: Monday, Feb.11: Breakfast Day (Dress in Pajamas and bring in breakfast food items) Tuesday, Feb.12: 2x Tuesday (Bring two of everything and wear two of everything) Wednesday, Feb 13: Hawaiian Day (Dress Hawaiian and bring in Canned Fruits) Thursday, Feb 14: Toiletry Day (Bring in toiletry or baby items) Remember, items must be nonperishable and cannot be expired. Check those dates please!

Bus Driver Appreciation Week is February 11th – 15th We would like to thank all our drivers for working with our children and for getting them safely to and from school. Anyone can drive a car. It takes someone special to drive a school bus!
