The Last Week of School

Refund for Odiorne
The HMS office and SAU are currently working to refund your payments for the Odiorne field trip. The bus company is charging a minimum payment, but the remaining refund will be returned to you by mail.

Last 2 Days
Monday and Tuesday are our last 2 days of school. On Monday, first graders will meet their 2nd grade teachers in their new classrooms along with next year's classmates. They will spend about 40 minutes together in the morning. Then we will have a later outdoor picnic lunch at 12:15 with the whole school. After we enjoy lunch with everyone, we'll be splitting up into groups to enjoy an afternoon of field day activities. Each group will be made up of first, second and third graders. This is always a fun afternoon at HMS! Please be sure your child wears appropriate shoes and clothing. They are welcome to change before field day.

On Tuesday, students will be dismissed at 12:00. This means we will have an early lunch at 10:50. First graders will be helping me pack up and clean the room as I prepare to move to a second floor classroom. I will continue to teach first grade, but my classroom will be upstairs near the computer lab.

I want to let you all know that your children have been an absolute joy to work with this year. I have been blessed with a caring, enthusiastic, and silly group of students that has made my year so wonderful. As I reflect back on our curriculum and where the students have taken us, I am amazed that they are only 1st graders. We have learned about US and World History, Addition & Subtraction WITH REGROUPING, environmental and life sciences, bird calls & habitats, fiction and non-fiction text regarding The Medieval Ages and so much more. This class will be missed! Thank you for a fabulous year!
