Today we are celebrating Mrs. Jenny Day and Mrs. Rachelle Collins for keeping Hatfield moving and grooving each and every day! From supporting students and staff to helping families and keeping the principal on track, they truly do it all. :-)
They are the light that makes Happy Hatfield the best place to be, and their dedication keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes. We simply would not be the place we are without these two incredible ladies!
If you see them out and about today or this week, be sure to thank them for all they do. They are simply the BEST!

Our students were fully immersed in hands-on learning experiences exploring the world of health sciences—from checking heart rates and temperatures, to practicing proper handwashing and toothbrushing, diving into brain studies, learning about blood and how to stop bleeding, and engaging their five senses. It was an unforgettable day of authentic, real-world learning!
A special shoutout to Mrs. Kidd and Mrs. Rubacha with COSMOS for organizing and facilitating such an incredible experience. We are grateful for this partnership and can’t wait to continue learning and growing with COSMOS in the 2026–2027 school year!
