Mighty Milers is a really exciting program being held at recess on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

During the school year, the children walk, run, or dance to accumulate bits of miles that ultimately add up to a marathon distance (or longer), all the while getting extra exercise, earning prizes (t-shirt, medal, membership card, etc.) and lots of great supplies for the school.

(When on signup.com, choose “Mighty Milers Recess Program” to help volunteer during recess and choose “Mighty Milers Committee” to be a part of the committee.)

The Nominating Committee has nominated the following individuals for the Board.

2 VPs of Events and Activities:  Cady Tadros and Lisa Ford
Recording Secretary:  Terri Hecht
Treasurer: Shanaz‎ Ali 

We have not nominated anyone for President, Co-President, or Corresponding Secretary, because we have not received word from anybody who is eligible for those positions that they consent to be nominated for those positions.

Come one, come all for our annual HAS K-8 Pool Party.  Our party will be held on Friday, June 9 from 8:00 to 10:00 at Centennial Avenue Pool.
