This is a message from Mrs. Blanchard, Principal at Hampton Elementary School. Here is your weekly edition of the HES Hawk Squawk.
The word of the week was tedious which means boring. We had a great first few days of February – we are anticipating an early spring as a result of the groundhog not seeing his shadow!
Writers in the School Program: On Monday we welcomed author Zach Hapeman to our school to speak to the students about his work as a poet. Zach Hapeman is a writer and illustrator working in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Thank you to our HES student ambassadors Wil and Jacob for being wonderful tour guides for Mr. Hapeman.
Good Morning! Breakfast/Transition program: Mr. Raymond and Mme. Vallis invite those students with permission to meet in the art room/breakfast room each morning between 7:50-8:20AM. Please remind your child if you have determined they require this service.
News from the LIBRARY: Thank you to those who found and returned lost books from 2016. We are still looking for a few more so please keep your eyes on the lookout for these misplaced books.
News from the HOME & SCHOOL: The Home and School meets this week, Thursday, February 9th at 7PM in the school library. Discussion topics will focus on a variety of topics. This meeting is always open to new members who want to share their ideas and have an inside look at what is happening at Hampton Elementary.
Our weekly Hawk Squawk is always posted on our school website under the Synrevoice tab!
Coming up next week: Feb 13-17th

Heritage Week in NB This year Heritage Week in NB is Feb. 13 – Feb. 20 and the Kings Co. Museum wants to help celebrate by hosting a Heritage Contest for students at local area schools, including Hampton Elementary School.
How students can participate: The Kings Co. Museum has a blog called 100 Hidden Histories which can be viewed at 100HiddenHistories.blogspot.ca. Here’s the task: students will find an object in their family that is at least 50 years old and write a short story about it. Here is what should be included:
- A description of what the object is
- What is its use
- Where it was made
- Who it belonged to (has it been passed down from generation to generation)
- Why is it still in their family
- What it means to them
- Any other interesting fact about the object
All submissions should be submitted in either MS Word or PDF format and be no longer than one page. Pictures of the object from different angles need to be included as well, including any markings or engravings on the object. There will be one winner from each area school and the prize will be a $25 gift certificate from a local business. The best submissions will be included in our 100 Hidden Histories blog in 2017. Other submissions will be shared via our Facebook page.
How to enter: Students must email their work to the museum at kingscm@nbnet.nb.ca by end of day Thursday, Feb. 9. The following information needs to be included:
- Student name, School the student attends, What grade the student is in.
- Name of the student’s homeroom teacher.
- Email address where the student can be contacted for prize notification. The Kings Co. Museum will also use this email address to notify students if their submission will be included in our 100 Hidden Histories blog in 2017.
- The write-up of the object (maximum one page) submitted in MS Word of PDF format.
- Pictures of the object.
Winners will be notified through the email address they used to send their entry and you will be copied. Arrangements will be made to have their certificates and prizes presented to them by a member of the Kings Co. Historical and Archival Society.
