Hamilton Br. 3 has been the scene of many varied activities during the first quarter of the 1975-76 schoolyear.
In October the three first grade and two kindergarden classes were delighted to visit the Rombach’s Pumpkin Farm in Chesterfield, Mo. Miss Knapp’s second graders presented a comical Halloween play “The Ballad of Lucifer Mean” to their schoolmates.
On Halloween several neighbors reported seeing starry, funny creatures in all sizes in the middle of the afternoon. It was the entire Hamilton 3 schoolbody marching up Kingsbury to Skinker and down Westminister in our annual Halloween parade. So many original and unusual costumes were worn that eight best costume prizes were given to Alfreda Battle, Kenneth Connork, Vincent Davis, Kia Dickson, Nicole Krippner, Marvin Quinn, Nicole Rhem, and Russell Robinson.
On November 10 our school honored our country’s service men, past and present, by the flag on the front lawn of the school. Patriotic songs and the Pledge of Allegiance were part of the program that expressed our thanks to the Veterans for protecting our great country.
Mrs. Billups’third graders have been able to go on two field trips. They saw the play “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” on Oct. 21 at the Loew’s State Theater. Through our art teacher Mrs. Smithers, they were able to visit the 4th R Gallery on Nov. 12.
Thanksgiving was observed during the noon hour on Thanksgiving eve with a traditional banquet of the Pilgrims and Indians. All children had made either an Indian headpiece or a Pilgrim hat to be worn. The tables were set appropriately with student-made placemates: A turkey dinner —school lunch style—was served to the students by the teachers. The faculty and students joined in songs of Thanksgiving before everyone sat and ate. In the spirit of Thanksgiving our children and faculty were happy to share our blessings through donations for food baskets given to two neighborhood needy families.
We would like to say thank you to the many parents who have shown their willingness to help, cooperate and support our school. Our two PTA meetings have been well attended. We were pleased that everyone in attendance at our Nov. 4 meeting seemed to enjoy our speaker, Dr. Eleanore Kenney, from the Miriam school and Webster College, as she explained Developmental Learning. We again say thank you to the mothers who have been coming regularly to the school to assist in the classrooms and even to take over for an hour when teachers are involved in the in-school workshops. It’s a pleasure to work with you.
