This is a message from Mrs. Blanchard, Principal at Hampton Elementary School. Here is your weekly edition of the HES Hawk Squawk.
REVIEW OF THE WEEK: It was a momentous occasion Thursday as we acknowledged all of the work of our Grade 5 Leadership students and wished them Farewell on their journey moving up to Middle School. Thank you to the families who attended our official mural unveiling today. We had a lobby full of students, parents and special guests.
2017-2018 SCHOOL CALENDAR: I have attached next year’s school calendar for those of you who like to plan your vacations in advance. Two holidays to highlight include the Winter Break December 22nd half day until January 7th and March Break March 5-9.
BIGGER BETTER FAIR DAY: I am so very proud of our HES school community. We have a community of engaged families who go above and beyond to help support the many initiatives of our school. Big Fair Day was a huge success! The profits of over $3000 will go directly into our Playground Renovation Fund. Thank you again for your support. It was a fun day for everyone. Congratulations to our Basket Winners:
TRACK AND FIELD GRADE 5 RESULTS: Congratulations to all the students who competed this week in the Track and Field meet in Sussex. We had several students who placed top 3 in many events.

Rationale |
3-5 English and French Immersion |

Parents provided feedback through a school wide survey two years ago that they would prefer an all-inclusive student fee that included school supplies. The one-time fee of $60 per child covers the cost of all school supplies, three school performances (minimum), ten skating sessions at the Hampton Community Centre and a student agenda. Families are only required to provide the following:
•2 boxes of tissue
•1 set of inexpensive ear buds/ ear phones (ear phones preferred)
•Indoor sneakers
•1 backpack
•1 lunch bag |
Our weekly Hawk Squawk is always posted on our school website under the Synrevoice tab!
Have a great weekend!

What’s happening in the Community?
Carson is going to Akron, Ohio!!!
On Saturday, May 27th, Carson Hoyt, age 11, of Hampton, NB, placed first in his division in the Saint John Soap Box Derby. With the help of his pit crew (his Father, Greg, his brother, Devin, and his Cousin, Katie), Carson won a medal and a trophy. He also won a cash prize and has been invited to attend the All-American Soap Box Derby World Championship in Akron, Ohio. This event will take place July 16 - 22, 2017.
This will be a wonderful experience for Carson and his family (who will be attending as his "pit crew"). But this experience comes at quite a cost. Travel expenses, hotels and meals for a week quickly adds up.
We are asking for our great community to rally together and to make this happen for Carson. We are looking for business sponsors. We cannot put your name on the car itself as there are specific guidelines about what can and cannot be placed on the car. However, we will make sure your business is thanked publically and on this Facebook page. We are having team t-shirts made and the pit crew will proudly display your name all week during the races on these t-shirts. According to the Soap Box Derby regulations, the driver has to wear a specific race shirt, but the pit crew will be sporting your company's name.
If you are an individual who would like to sponsor Carson, please contact us using the information below. We will be sure that individuals are thanked publically as well.
