🏈 FALL BREAK STARTS WITH A LITTLE HOOSIER HYPE AT HATFIELD!
Happy Hatfield was pretty excited to have a special visitor stop by today as we geared up for Fall Break 2026...Hoosier the Bison! 🎉
Hoosier helped our students get fired up for IU Football, challenged some of our kids to a few rounds of rock, paper, scissors, stopped for LOTS of photo ops with his fans, and even helped keep the Hatfield office in order by answering a few phone calls! 😂
Needless to say, Hoosier brought plenty of excitement and smiles to Hatfield and helped us kick off Fall Break the Happy Hatfield way! A HUGE thank you to Hoosier for stopping by! We hope you have a fantastic Fall Break, Hatfield Families!
HOO-HOO-HOO-HOOSIERS!
