The holiday season is fast approaching and Hamilton III will be bustling with activity. Plans are not yet complete but every room will be involved in making gifts (don’t tell!) and decorations for home as well as for school.
November was a busy month. We had good attendance at the first evening PTA meeting of the year and also at the first parent conference day which followed the 10 week marking period. Thanks to all of you for supporting your children by your cooperation with their teachers.
The first graders’ in Room 101 are grateful to Mrs. Krueger for helping them draw, cut and stuff life-size “me dolls”. A lot of time was spent on the gym floor working on this exciting project.
Room 202 will visit the 4th R Gallery on December 12th, and while there, will especially enjoy making a seasonal art project. The following students in
Room 202 received gold stars for perfect attendance during the first 10 weeks of school: John Cantrell, Duana Russell, Crystal Phillips, Rodney Singleton, Dawntanya Smith, Kimberly Stevens, Tyrone Stovall, Latricia Hopgood, Yoland Robinson, Gene Thompson, and Gregory Williams. Congratulations!
Hamilton III is making a concerted effort to improve attendance this year. Each teacher will be using attendance incentives in her own room and the whole school will be in competition for best room attendance. Parties will be held in winning rooms. Help your child’s room win a party.
All staff and students of Hamilton III wish parents and all members of the community a joyous Christmas season and a Happy New Year.
