Hamilton 3 is busy, busy, busy. April has been an exciting month with visits by the students from the Visual and Performing Arts High School and also by the Young Audience Group (the Soma Mime Show). We all enjoyed their spirited, exciting performances.
The Third and Fourth Grades have been preparing for their joint class trip to Springfield, Mo. on June 2. Each child must pay his own way, so both children and parents have been selling Tootsie Roll Banks and candy throughout the neighborhood. We believe this trip is a worthwhile educational experience and would appreciate your financial support.
Actually, there are quite a few fundraising projects going on at the moment. Hamilton 3 must pay its share of catered refreshments for the joint Northwest and Doldan Parent Congress meeting at Stowe School, as well as for the Basketball Awards dinner. (We must modestly report that we captured the league title in this, our first year.) The PTA and the school are selling imprinted school pencils, bumper stickers, frisbees, and candy to pay for these activities, as well as for the visit by the Young Audiences Group.
Upcoming activities include a Junior Olympics, the School Picnic, to be held at Forest Park, and a performance by the “Grand Fuzz Band” (the Police Band) at Hamilton 3 on June 5.
The year will culminate with the Awards Assembly on June 7, at which students will be recognized for achievement and effort in many areas, including citizenship, attendance, and — most important – scholarship.
