As our final newsletter for the school year, we want to wish everyone a happy and safe summer! Thank you to everyone who helped volunteer this year to make our events and activities run smoothly. Without you, we are not able to do what we do. We are happy to announce Tayler Moots will be joining the HSA Exec Board, along with Kristine Magargee to serve as Co-Chairs for 2025-2026. We look forward to another great year!

Despite the cooler temperatures and a last minute switch to the Knowlton Swim Club, the Music Department took all of the students in the music programs out for a day to enjoy at the pool. A good time was had by all, albeit a little chilly and wet. Special thanks to Lauren Shank for the pictures. More can be seen on the WSMA FB Page.

At the March HSA Meeting, the HSA approved funding to support Patrick Barth in completing his Eagle Scout Project for Troop 277. Patrick presented his plan to help the HSA by installing new benches and a storage box for recess supplies. These benches will allow more seating during recess, so students don't have to sit on the ground. This past weekend, they were installed and look great! A huge thank you to Patrick and Troop 277 for all their hard work and contributing these benches to the middle school.

Congratulations to our 8th Graders who crossed the bridge to Strath Haven High School last Thursday! This ceremonial walk across the bridge welcomes them to the High School as incoming freshmen. More pictures and video on Facebook. 

Christie, Drane and Forwood Orthodontics and the HSA also gifted shirts as a parting gift to the 8th grade class. We hope your students will enjoy wearing them to show their Haven spirit! Best Wishes to the Class of 2029!

The HSA provided Rosati's Water Ice and soft pretzels to all 7th graders on the last day of school to enjoy while getting their yearbooks signed. Thank you to all of our volunteers for enduring the heat and helping out!

Do you have or know a rising 6th grader? Order your teacher-approved kit today. These kits are optional and families are welcome to buy their own school supplies. The kits will be available for pickup in August starting at the Morning at the Middle School event. Prices go up July 3rd.

Please note, that these kits are only for 5th graders who will be entering the middle school next year. School Supply lists for rising 7th and 8th graders will be on the school website.

It's not too late if your student wants to participate in the Summer Music Program. The 44th Annual Summer Music program is open to students entering 3rd through 12th grade in the Fall. Rising 8th-12th grade students and adults of any age are welcome to join the evening concert band. The Summer Program is open to both WSSD and non-WSSD residents.
