Farmdale would like to thank our faculty-parent association for helping to decorate our building for winter! We often receive compliments from visitors that our building is warm and welcoming, and little touches like decorating the bulletin boards and maintaining the planters help to make people feel welcome:

Mark your calendars for the FES Winter Concert!

When:  Tuesday, December 19^th, 2023

Where:   Farmdale Elementary School

The concert is fast approaching and it’s sure to be a wonderful evening where the 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th grade students get to show off their hard work. This year’s concert is based on the theme of light and will include lots of singing, instruments, and movement. You won’t want to miss it! And plan to stay for the entire concert as the final number is a grand finale with all of the 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th graders singing together!

The following message is sent on behalf of Hempfield Youth Association...

Hempfield Youth Association (HYA) has officially opened or will soon open softball and baseball registration for travel and intramural programs for the Spring 2024 season! We are excited to continue our growth into the new year and provide an opportunity for more kids to play baseball and softball within our community.

Travel Baseball (Register Now through 1/14/24):
We offer travel baseball at 10U, 12U, and 14U with multiple teams at each age group.

Travel tryouts are on 1/20/24 (14U) and 1/21/24 (10U & 12U) depending on age group at Keystone State Sports, with a second tryout on 2/4/24 at Spooky Nook.

Intramural Baseball (Register Now through 2/18/24):
We offer intramural baseball at pony (4-6 year olds), minors (5-7 year olds), and majors (6-9 year olds). This is a great way to introduce kids to baseball as well as develop their skills over time to prepare for the travel levels noted above. 

Softball (Register 1/1/24 through 1/31/24):
We offer softball programs at 8U, 10U, 12U, and 14U with multiple teams at each age group. Softball tryouts are on 2/17/24 at Spooky Nook LANCO.

Partial and Full Registration Help
We continue to offer partial and full registration help to families in need as we are dedicated to assuring no child in our community who wants to play baseball will have monetary concerns keep them from doing so. Please reach out to Eli Cox at hyatravelbaseball1@gmail.com for assistance at the travel baseball level, Tim Witmer at hyacoachtim@gmail.com for assistance at the intramural baseball level, and Jeff Kish at jkishest82@gmail.com.
