Hayes/Weinstein Community Service Photos (keep scrolling!)
We have a goal this year for all 5th-grade students (and teachers) to complete 12 hours of community service outside of the school day by the end of the year (6 hours per semester). Students who achieve 6 hours by December 13, 2024, and an additional 6 hours by May 9, 2025, will receive a party to celebrate their achievements. When your child completes community service, please be sure they are logging their time in the Google Form linked below. We have hung a tracker poster (pictured here to the left) in the 5th-grade hallway to track the hours completed as the school year progresses. We cannot wait to see the tracker fill up!
SO FAR, 5TH GRADE STUDENTS ARE OVER 550 HOURS FOR THIS SEMESTER!
Also, if you snap photos of your child during their community service, please send them our way! We would love to see the work they are doing. We have included some of the photos we have received so far (to the right). It makes our hearts so happy to see students volunteering in their community!
There is an in-person Physics Festival at Texas A&M University in April which is open to all. If you are interested, please click the link below:

Grapevine-Colleyville ISD adopted an electronic flyer distribution program called Peachjar a few years ago. With this system, flyers from community organizations will be distributed through a weekly email and accessible through the school websites. This is part of the district's ongoing effort to focus resources on education while reducing the environmental impact of our activities.
