Congratulations to HCS fourth grader, Liv Marino for coming in first place in the New Hampshire Water Poetry Contest! Liv won top honors in the state in this poetry contest and received her award at school. Her award was presented by Lara Hooper from the NH Dept. of Environmental Services. Liv also had the opportunity to attend and read her poem at the NH Water Festival earlier this month. Way to go Liv!
Recently HCS students joined up with Mr. Remillard and his students from HMS to prep our courtyard raised beds for planting. Students planted seeds and learned about how seeds grow and gardening techniques. This hands- on, inter-school activity was made possible with the Hampstead Garden Club's Gorham Grant. Thank you!
Last week, HCS hosted a “No Brain the Same" assembly. This engaging presentation taught students about how every brain is unique and how we all learn, think, and feel differently. The assembly promoted empathy, understanding, and inclusion by helping children recognize and appreciate the strengths and challenges of others. Thank you to all the community organizations that helped to bring this presentation to our school!
