Thank you so much for those of you who have already created your fundraising pages! We are off to a great start! As of 4/13/2018 we have raised a total of $1,830.00.  This means that so far the Hayes Learning Commons will be receiving $1,372.50! Keep up the good work! Our goal is for the Learning Commons to earn $5,000! 

The below video will help you create your own fundraising page!

The Hayes Library Learning Commons is hosting a Read-A-Thon! Students will be receiving more information about the Read-a-thon after Spring Break!

All proceeds from this year's Read-a-thon will be used to create a Makerspace in our learning commons.

The Hayes Learning Commons will be hosting our 2nd annual Read-A-Thon! Look for more information to come home after spring break! We had great success last year raising over $5000! Let's make this year even better! Money earned at this year's Read-A-Ton will go to create a Makerspace in the Learning commons! There are also a few surprises in store for those students who participate!

If you are interested in being a guest reader on Friday March 2, in celebration of Read Across America, please see the flyer in your child's Friday Folder (sent home 2/8/18).  Fill out the bottom of the sheet and send it back to school.  We will be contacting you about when and where you will be reading! Thanks!

We will also be hosting daily dress up day in celebration of Read-Across America.  Dress up days will begin Monday 2/26.  Each day students will be asked to show their support for reading by participating in the theme for the day!

Cobb County School District and the Cobb County Public Library System have teamed up to give students access to all of CCPLS awesome resources! The new library PASS program allows students to login to the CCPLS resources using their student ID and birth date (MMDD).  
For more information, please see the attached Flyer!

Come take a ride on the Polar Express!
Beginning Friday, December 8th, students will be taking a ride on the Polar Express.  This will take place during their Learning Commons time.  The conductors (Mrs. Justice and Mrs. Spencer) will be reading the book, by Chris Van Allsburg, using an interactive Power Point. Students will be served hot chocolate as they make their way to the North Pole.  One student from each group will be given the First Gift of Christmas (a bell).  This is a favorite activity for students and staff! 

It was exciting to broadcast live this morning with our brand new news equipment!  Thanks to our successful Read-A-Thon last spring we were able to purchase new broadcasting equipment for our HNN News Room! Thank you to everyone who participated in the Read-A-Thon last year and made this possible.  We cannot wait to see what this Springs Read-A-Ton will bring!  

The first monthly mystery books have been posted to our social media pages.  Please be sure to follow us for all the happening of the Hayes Learning Commons!
