Ok, keep your fingers crossed for pleasant weather this Friday.  It will be another fantastic Friday at Hambright.  The PTO’s biggest fundraiser of the year is Race for Education.  Our class will be walking, running, skipping, dancing our way around the path from 2:00-3:00 pm.  Come cheer on your Leader!

The goal for first grade was to return at least 5 labels per student.  We are proud that they exceeded that average!  As a reward, the students will enjoy a picnic lunch with their teachers.  Please send in a picnic blanket, beach towel, etc. if you could.  We are hoping for a great day!

Also….we are out of tissues again….If you see any sales, we’d appreciate donations.  Thanks also for providing a snack for your student everyday!

Today is what many Hambright students (and teachers!) refer to as “My favorite day of the year!”  Here are a few pictures of first graders learning a dance routine with Jan Denlinger, enjoying storytelling with Rita Clarke, and listening to a barbershop quartet called “3 Dads and a Lad.”  Ask your child what else they learned today!

Just a reminder….this Friday is “Fine Arts Day” at Hambright.  Your children are in for a special treat!  It is a cycle day 2, but our schedule looks nothing like a normal day.  We will eat lunch at different times, have some cool assemblies and presentations, and experience the arts in a whole new way! 

The only thing required is that our students dress in comfortable clothes.  They WILL be moving and dancing and who knows what!  While it’s not a PE day, please dress your child as if they were.  Dresses and flip flops will cause a bit of a problem for some activities.

Bring some fun and creativity and great leadership skills for our special guests in the building!

Your child brought home a packet of spring pictures this week. You now have two choices:

• If you are not interested in purchasing any pictures, please return all pictures – in the original envelope – to school with your child.

• If you would like to purchase any pictures, please place your payment in the envelope provided and return the payment to school with your child.  Any pictures that you do not wish to purchase should be returned – only pay for those pictures (sheets) that you wish to keep.

If you should have any questions regarding the pictures, please don’t hesitate to contact me.  Thanks!
