Dear Halsey Family,
As you may have noticed, our garden project is in full swing and Halsey is already looking better! Mr. Weiss is spearheading and the kids are participating and this AMAZING initiative to not only beautify the school property, but create a farm to table program, outdoor classroom learning center, and teach our kids how to appreciate nature and the process of growing something.
We urge each and every family to donate something, $5, $10, $50, $100 whatever you can send would be greatly appreciated and go towards the beatification efforts that are well underway!

Thank you,
Halsey PTA Executive Board
This is a reminder that Halsey JHS 157 will be hosting an AMAZING workshop on April 17th at 7:00pm which will discuss some excellent strategies that can help parents reduce the time spent on social media, smart phones, tablets, and other new technology and get refocused back on education. While the internet and social media can be extremely useful tools for young adults/teens and their parents, these “apps,” instant messaging, chat rooms, texts, emails, and social networking sites can also cause unexpected anxiety and danger for children and their parents. With technology changing daily, parents and teens do not have the right knowledge, and schools and communities are not always able to have the necessary conversations to assist families to make informed decisions about internet and social media safety. We turn that around on April 17 at 7PM here at Halsey JHS 157.
The Parent Teacher Association is pleased to announce we are accepting letters of nomination for Officers of the PTA for the upcoming 2018-2019 school year. Eligibility for office is open to parents, guardians, or persons in a parental relation to a child currently at Halsey and attending for the 2018-2019 school year, and who are not employed at the school.
