WALK AND ROLL TO SCHOOL DAY

Wednesday, February 3

 

Start the new year off right by getting out of your car and walking or biking to school.  We'll be passing out recognition stickers and a few trinkets (while supplies last) to all who participate.   It's fun!  It's healthy!  There's less pollution and less traffic.  Next month, we'll be walking and rolling on Wednesday, February 3.  

 

Any questions or to volunteer at our welcome table, please contact Debbie Lynch at DebbieL2@yahoo.com or 382-7810.

Teacher Appreciation Days
This year we will be tweaking "Teacher Appreciation Day".  Instead of once a year, we will have small activities planned for each month to honor our teachers and staff. In order to do this, we will ask for small donations, so be on the lookout for a letter or email asking for your support.  This month, parents of Kindergarteners are baking some cookies and next month the 1st and 2nd grades will be asked for their donations.  (Month following, 3rd grade, etc.) 
 
Hamilton Teachers & Staff WE APPRECIATE YOU!!
