Thank you so much for your support of the American Heart Association as we fight COVD-19 on a global scale. We’re investing a minimum of $2.5 million to investigate the implications of coronavirus. The Association has established a $2.5 million rapid research fund to fast-track scientific research to better understand COVID-19 and its interaction with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. For your COVID-19 questions, please click here for a comprehensive list of our resources, all made possible with your continued support.

The Hayhurst Garden Committee wishes you all a Happy New Year and is committed to maintaining and improving our garden, courtyard, and the general landscape of Hayhurst. This year we have plans to rebuild the garden beds, restore the plants in the sensory barrels, and begin phase 1 of our beautification project. 
Our garden committee consists of parents and community members that share an interest and passion for plants, gardening, garden education, and maintaining our space. Our committee is always open to new members and we welcome you to join us! If you would like to become involved or become a garden committee member, please email Mike Patterson or Nadya Burchette.

Hayhurst Beautification Project: The Hayhurst Garden Committee has long held a vision to bring beauty to the front of our school by updating the landscape. 

Our goals and some benefits for the re-landscaping of the school front include:

• Create a more welcoming environment with the addition of tree, shrubs, flowers, and ornamental grasses to bring year-round color which will foster emotional well being
• Add to the school’s opportunities for kids to learn about biodiversity and ecology
• Create an environment of interest and perhaps wonder with informational signage that will include ecological and environmental purposes.
• Expand our habitat for birds and pollinators
• Lead by example front yard alternatives to lawns
• Become a continuing source of community pride and a perhaps a place to gather and share

In order to be successful, we have created this project to be accomplished in several phases over the next few years.  We are pleased to announce that phase 1 has begun with site preparation and design planning. We currently have funding to begin phase 1 and will be adding some trees and plants over the next 12 months. As our project develops we will need more school and community support with both volunteerism and finances. The attachments show the project areas for the 3 phases and we will keep you updated on progress and future needs. 

The Jackson and Gray Middle School PTAs welcome you to participate in a special parent night, hosted by the Anti Defamation League Education Director, Scotland Nash EdD, for a workshop series for families and communities to reflect on bias, engagement, and communication.

Learn about the manifestation of bias, reflect on life experiences, consider the lenses that we bring to difficult conversations, and how understanding bias supports building a connection. In this workshop, we will understand how it is possible to challenge bias, prejudicial thinking, and attitudes in ourselves. Through this “unlearning” of bias and the conscious effort it takes, that will support building allyship

Current issues provide a great opportunity to engage others in rich conversation, share important values, encourage a deeper understanding of the news, and disrupt bias and prejudice.
