COLOR SPLASHING THE PRINCIPAL!
It was an INCREDIBLE morning of color, excitement, and LOTS of laughter at Happy Hatfield! Some very deserving and incredible students earned the chance to COLOR SPLASH THE PRINCIPAL!
Be sure to check out the pictures from each grade level and watch closely… 👀 The enthusiasm (and the amount of color!) grew with each group! 😆
A HUGE shout-out to our students for earning this special opportunity and for making this morning one Mr. Fountain—and the entire Hatfield Family—won’t soon forget! Happy Hatfield was definitely a little more colorful today!

But more than what he does, we appreciate who he is. His kindness, humor, dedication, and willingness to help make a difference at Hatfield every single day.

🍕 Pizza with the Principal — Second Grade Edition!
We wrapped up our Pizza with the Principal fun today with an awesome group of second graders! These students enjoyed kicking back in the comfy conference room chairs, sharing stories about friendship, talking about the things they love most about Hatfield, and, of course… enjoying some PIZZA!
A HUGE thank-you to Burris-Hatfield PTO for sponsoring this fun experience and to Chicago’s Pizza of Mitchell for providing all of the INCREDIBLE pizza! We are so grateful for your support of Happy Hatfield!
It has been a complete blast celebrating with our Kindergarteners, first graders, and second graders!
Speaking of BLASTS… there are quite a few Hatfield students who are already fired up about color blasting me tomorrow morning! Stay tuned!
For now, though, I think pizza will officially be off the menu at the Fountain house this weekend after three straight days of lunch pizza! HA! 😂

🍂 Winding Down Persimmon Festival Week at Hatfield! 🍂
What a wonderful week at Hatfield Elementary! Our students have enjoyed celebrating College Go Week with our fun Dress Up Days while also learning more about what makes our community so special... The Persimmon!
From persimmon trees to the fruit itself to persimmon pudding, our students have been getting creative and celebrating a tradition that makes Mitchell such a special place to call home. Enjoy a little peek at their artwork!
As we wrap up the week, I encourage our Hatfield Family to get out and enjoy the festival on Saturday if you have the opportunity! From the community breakfast and 5K to the car and motorcycle shows, pudding contests, carnival rides, and local nonprofit food tents, there's something for everyone. And, of course, enjoy the Grand Parade and entertainment on the Main Stage! Our community will be shining! Have a wonderful Persimmon Festival weekend, everyone!

🍂Persimmon Seed Predictions in Kindergarten!🍂
Mrs. Lee’s kindergarten students are kicking off Persimmon Festival Week by becoming our newest winter weather predictors! 🍁❄️
As the story goes, persimmon seeds have been a great indicator of what winter weather might look like around Mitchell. Our young investigators got to squish through some persimmon pulp, learn about the different shapes they might find inside a persimmon seed, and practice matching seeds to spoons, knives, and forks!
Look out, folks! The verdict is in, and these seeds provided LOTS of spoons and knives! If the persimmon seed is right (like it usually is 😉), we may have a few snow days in our future!
What a fun way to kick off Persimmon Festival Week with hands-on learning, local tradition, and a little winter weather prediction! Happy Persimmon Festival Monday, Hatfield Families!

🌟 So many great things are happening at Happy Hatfield! 🌟
Over the last two weeks, our students have been busy learning, creating, communicating, and making connections!

A HUGE shout-out to our amazing Hatfield teachers for creating engaging, meaningful, real-world learning opportunities and for helping students make connections between literature, art, communication, and collaboration.
We are incredibly proud of the young minds developing at Hatfield each and every day! Keep learning, creating, and growing, Bluejackets!
