Haggerty Day Fun!
 On Thursday, June 16th, all of our Haggerty Students, both remote and in-person, came together on a beautifully sunny day for a block party of grand proportions! We closed Cushing Street to traffic and created a variety of fun stations, including a drumming circle by Jafar, laughs with Jenny the Juggler, art station by Mr. Reynolds, playground fun with Mr. Materazzo, stomp rockets with Carroll Magill, and a water station in the parking lot! This super fun day, that reunited our in-person and remote staff and students was the perfect way to end this ever-changing, hard year. Thanks to all the caregivers and staff who helped make this day such a wonderful success. Thanks to our School Resource Officer, Devon Brooks for getting the street closed, and CPS photographer Bethany Versoy for taking photos! And thanks for Friends of Haggerty for funding the entertainment and supplies!
Staff we are sad to say goodbye to!
We are grateful to the many fabulous staff who joined the Haggerty Team this year in one-year positions due to the pandemic. We bid farewell and thanks to Luis Branco, Karen Caine, Briana Cuevas, Ellen Contini, Sarah Russell, Emily Paton, Future Coleman-Arroyo, Isabel Jones, Nina Vosbigian, Chrissy Hsu, Alex Pierre, Lily Schub, Olivia Scott, Cheryl Wong, and Elaine Guerrero.
In addition, we are saying goodbye to Annie Shriver, Victoria Howard, and Jessica Shultz who have been important members of our community over the last number of years. They are each moving out of state and we are grateful for their devotion to the Haggerty students and our school community over the years!

To all Families/Caregivers:
We are excited to share that all incoming 1st graders to incoming 6th graders received Scholastic books packs for Summer Reading. Each student received a set of 3 fiction and 3 nonfiction books to take home and keep for summer reading. We hope that you will find time to enjoy reading these new books together. Each child also received a postcard and a writing journal. We encourage you to draw, write, record your wonderings, and or write letters to teachers while you take some time away from school and screens this summer. We have ordered lots of new books for all of our JK-5 students for next year and we look forward to sharing the love of reading and writing with your children when we kick off the 2021-2022 school year. Check out the Haggerty School Website: Summer Learning page to find ideas to keep learning all summer long! We thank you for all, children and caregivers for your support in returning reading materials to classroom teachers and to the our library. Happy Summer, Keep Reading, Keep Learning! Until We Meet Again.

 Fifth Graders are Moving on!
On Thursday, June 17th our fifth graders had a wonderful celebration of their time at the Haggerty School with their families and our staff. Each fifth grader made a short presentation reflecting on what they learned or remembered most about their time in elementary school. They also put a memory or artifact in the time capsule, and they will be invited to come back and retrieve it when they graduate from high school. Staff, including their teachers and Nancy also had words of wisdom for the students. And then, their families hosted a wonderful celebration!
Thanks to all the staff that helped with our fifth graders this year - Elise Faucher, Jolene Wright, Alyssa Foster, Cheryl Wong, Katie Nole, Rachel Keefer, Jessica Joseph, Kristine Roberts and Olivia Scott. This was a year that took so much help and support to get through! Thanks to all of them for their love and support of our students!
We wish you well in the next phase fifth graders! You are so ready for 6th grade. You will always have your Haggerty family! We are here if you want to celebrate an accomplishment, need a hug, or just to say hello! It has been such a pleasure watching you grow and learn over the years.
