🍂 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!

Students have been immersed in foundational literacy skills, real-world reading comprehension, and writing—drafting ideas and learning how to add details and meaning to their work. They’ve also been exploring art through different media, geometric shapes, and creative expression.

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!

HAPPY TUESDAY, HATFIELD FAMILIES!

Our Burris-Hatfield PTO Fundraiser is continuing for ONE MORE WEEK, and our Hatfield students are absolutely CRUSHING IT! We have officially raised OVER $11,000 so far! These funds will help provide our students with field trips, fun events, and exciting experiences throughout the school year!

And… apparently, at least 6 Hatfield students have already earned the opportunity to COLOR BOMB MR. FOUNTAIN!

I can't wait! 😳 Take a look at the picture from last year's Color Bomb experience. Let's just say… I think I can still taste the color dust! 😂

Keep up the AMAZING work, Hatfield! We are so proud of the hard work our students and families are putting into this fundraiser. Let's see how much more we can raise during this final week!
