With missing 10 days of school due to weather, many of you have asked about when the students’ last day of school will be.   Thank you for your patience.  Today we received word about a POSSIBLE final date.  Details have been posted at:

District Website

Will be on Thursday, April 17.  If you have any more envelopes to order pictures, please send them in.  Thank you!  

Top o’ the morning to you! (that’s the leprechaun in me)

 Due to the slippery conditions, and 1/2 inch of snow in some parts of the district, we have a two-hour delay today with modified kindergarten.  I’m assuming our Spring Pictures will be moved again, as our time was 10:05.  If I hear otherwise, I’ll post another message.

Thanks!

The amazing, wonderful, generous Hambright PTO treated the first graders to a visit from the Hands-On House on Thursday.  (The PTO….who is raising funds through the Race for Education….you still have a few days left to get any potential donors by sending in labels with your child by Monday, March 10!).  Our presenter, Mrs. Mowery, was my kindergarten teacher many many years ago.  It is so much fun to show my love of teaching to someone who started me off in my education!  All students had a BLAST, learning about their own senses, and the senses of some amazing animals.  Ask your child their favorite part of the day.  They brought home a brochure with the Hands-on House schedule, as well as a sheet with a FREE coupon for child admission through the end of May.  Hopefully you can all make it there and enjoy some fun family time!
Here are some pictures from the day.

Come practice habit #7 TONIGHT by Sharpening your Saw at Hambright’s Family Fun Rollerskating Night at the Castle.

Time: 5:30-8 pm

Price: Free for EVERYONE

SKATES: Free Quad rental for Hambright Students (Inline is $2).  Please bring the orange tickets students were given.
Parents and/or siblings quad skates $2, Inline $4 dollars.

Win-Win: We also will be collecting toiletry items for PM Cares. Show your Hambright spirit by bringing in an item that will go to Hambright families in need! (ex. toilet paper, shampoo, etc)

This is not a drop off event. There must be an adult present (over 18). A Hambright representative will be at the door to help you with any questions.

****This event was provided FREE thanks to last year’s Race for Education so please remember to send those labels in for this year so we can continue to enjoy more Family Fun events! Label due date has been extended to Monday March 10th so there is still time!!!!

Our class completed the Revision unit in our writing series.  After working hard to add dialogue, revise our leads, “show, not tell,” revise our endings, etc…. students were extremely proud of their small moment pieces.  We celebrated on Wednesday with a revision museum in morning kindergarten.  Mrs. Vitti’s leaders were active listeners and they were amazed at the first grade stories.  Here are a few of the great moments from the morning.  Keep it up leaders!

Here we go….”March is coming in like a lion”. I guess we can look forward to it “going out like a lamb.”  Penn Manor has a 2-hour delay with modified kindergarten today.
