That’s “welcome” in 27 languages, and I’m sure I’ve missed a few! If I did, or if I made some errors, please let us know. Our goal is to have everyone not only feel welcome at Haggerty, but wanted and valued. You and your children and family belong here. Read more >>
Library Corner
By: Sarah Novogrodsky
Welcome back to another exciting year in the Haggerty Library.
Library book exchange: Please help your child to remember library day in order to return books on time and borrow new ones. (JK and K borrow books to enjoy in their classrooms. After we are all used to our routines, Ks may begin to borrow books to take home.)
2018 - 2019 Library Schedule:
Monday: Golding, Healy, Barker, Favreau, Hassett
Tuesday: Stewart/Faucher, Moloney,
Wednesday: Kuo, Karwowski
Thursday: Yeh and Lacey
Friday: Callendar and Doherty
Volunteer Opportunity
If you have some free time and would like to volunteer in the library, we always need help with shelving. A quick 15 or 20 minutes of help makes an enormous difference.
Back to School Night and Sponsor A Book
Every Back to School Night I have a table of new books which families can choose to sponsor for our library collection. A name plate goes inside with your child's name. Stop by the evening of October 3 with a check or cash to sponsor a book!
Thanks!

Music Corner
By: Shelley Irvin-Kent
At Haggerty, our JK-2 students receive Kodály-inspired music instruction with Ms. Irvin-Kent four times per week. Third and fourth graders have a music class on Mondays with Mr. Mooney, who we're thrilled to have returning to Haggerty for his second year. Fifth graders start learning instruments with the traveling instrumental team: Mr. Tally, Mr. Babecka, and Mr. Brady (new this year).
All 3rd-5th graders are welcome to participate in Haggerty Chorus, which meets on Tuesday and Friday mornings 7:30 - 8AM in the music room. (Students who participate are not marked late and both bus student and walkers are able to join.) This is a great opportunity for students who love to sing! Chorus starts on Tuesday, September 25 and will perform in both the Peace Day and Spring concerts.
You can reach the music teachers best via email.
