​Greetings Hampton Elementary School Families,

We had a respectful Truth and Reconciliation Assembly last Friday here at HES. We are so very proud of our Grade 5 Student Leader Team and how hard they worked with Mrs. Branch to prepare and host this assembly for our school! Our students did an excellent job and they S.O.A.R.ed throughout the whole assembly!
