🚨 EVERYTHING MUST GO 🚨

We’ve marked down ALL Hastings Spirit Wear items to $15 or less!

Now’s your chance to stock up on Hastings gear for next year, grab an extra hoodie, or finally replace the spirit wear your kid “borrowed” permanently. 😅

Sizes and inventory are limited, so once items are gone, they’re gone!

𝐇𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 — 𝐖𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐩𝐮𝐭

As many of you know, Hastings Middle School is in the process of selecting a new principal. This is an important decision for our school community, and parent feedback is a key part of the process.

𝐀 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐇𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟐𝟕. If you haven’t already completed it, please take a few minutes to share your thoughts there.

𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: To ensure feedback is reviewed as part of the official process, responses should be submitted through the survey (rather than in the comments on this post).

At the end of the survey, there is also an option to indicate interest in participating in the interview process. A small group of parents will be selected.

𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞: 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟒

Thank you for taking the time to support Hastings during this transition — your input truly matters.

💛 𝐖𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐏𝐓𝐎 𝐆𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 💛

As we begin planning for the 2026–2027 school year, we have several open PTO positions—and simply put, we can’t continue to support our students, teachers, and school community without volunteers stepping in.

The good news? These roles are manageable, well-supported, and make a real impact. Many can be shared with a friend, and no prior PTO experience is needed—we’ll help you every step of the way.

𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 (click each to learn more):

- Co-Treasurer https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-jS6KGt6lMhDas8hXt_0i9bnH_DV5_PUxTnweLuVoaA/edit?tab=t.0
- Secretary https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RdGOAGNsMiCrh5rHZ5HbP-Bwi6aVTpzquMvMW52wRxc/edit?tab=t.0
- Corporate Sponsorship Chair https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tzE3AzZvrACfx64FK3d_X-rncL3w0qhr3-1YEj-uhIw/edit?tab=t.0
- Flower Sale Chair https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aCXMGImqpjcedRCrLy8T9fUoHIahbNb5DOz6UraAbWo/edit?tab=t.0
- Basketball Concessions Chair (great as a team of 2–3) https://docs.google.com/document/d/19thDE5cv7ZhqDRjh1_5jZTZfF4C5MRUcqts5kq89zqM/edit?tab=t.0

👉 Not ready to commit to a full role? We still need casual volunteers throughout the year—every bit helps.

We know everyone is busy—but the PTO only works when families pitch in. If we’re not able to fill these roles, we’ll need to scale back some of the programs, support, and experiences we provide for our students and staff.

If you’ve ever thought about getting more involved, this is a great time to step in. Even expressing interest is a great first step—no pressure, just a conversation.

Thank you for helping make Hastings such a strong and supportive community 💛

No experience needed — we’ll support you every step of the way! Checking a box does not imply any commitment!

We’re looking for:
- Donations (food, desserts, drinks, gift cards, and gifts)

👉 Sign up here:
