Many of our elementary students helped us celebrate a big milestone across Hastings Area Schools: the 100th day of school!

They came to school with some fun and creative outfits. What a fun way to mark 100 days of learning!

100 days smarter and 100 years cuter! 💯🎉 Our kindergarteners dressed as 100-year-olds to celebrate the 100th day of school. Time sure flies when you’re having fun! ❤️

Kickstart Deposit Day - TOMORROW! Monday, February 9 is a deposit day and the first one that includes Kindergarten-5th grade.

Due to poor weather, driving conditions and the existing winter weather advisory that will extend through the day, HASS is closed for Friday, February 6.

The Southeastern Elementary 5th graders participated in Bittersweet Ski Resort's Gym Day program this week. Students started the day with a lesson from the Bittersweet staff and then spent the rest of the day perfecting their skills on the slopes!

Kids enjoyed learning a new outdoor sport. Thanks to the staff and volunteers that helped make the program successful. Also a big thanks to Hastings Education Enrichment Foundation and First Presbyterian Church for their financial support.

Mark your calendars for preschool registration!

What a special treat for our lower elementary students, who were joined by fellow students from Delton Kellogg School District!

Members of the Grand Rapids Symphony and Grand Rapids Ballet brought a LolliPops performance to the stage at the Hastings Performing Arts Center, creating a learning experience through music and movement.

By blending The Emperor’s New Clothes and The Ugly Duckling, the performance introduced students to the magic of storytelling while also teaching them about music and the structure of an orchestra.

This opportunity was made possible by the generosity of the Douglas A. and Margaret E. DeCamp Foundation. We are grateful for partners who help our students develop a passion for the arts!

🍎Teaching Tuesday🍎 Check out pictures from our most recent Lunch with a Leader! Students earn tickets that are randomly picked for a chance to eat lunch with the principal in the office. We share laughs, have great conversations, and students never hesitate to tell me what’s working and what could be better! 😄💬 Their voices matter, their ideas count, and I love spending my lunch with them!

Don't forget we are celebrating Winterfest this week!
