GO GOLD DAY is September 27th!
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and is represented by the color gold. In honor of 10 current and former Hamilton Lions who have faced brain cancer and Leukemia, our school is GOING GOLD on September 27th. We are also collecting items for MD Anderson’s Children’s Cancer Hospital. Students who bring in a donation will be able to add a ribbon to a display in the library. A list of items can be found here.
Library News
3rd Grade Book Club - 3rd graders have the opportunity to participate in the Global Read Aloud Book Club sponsored by Ms. Blaschke and Ms. Lucas. Please read the information and turn in the registration form by Monday, September 30th (deadline has been extended).
The Bob Shea & Zacharia OHora author & illustrator visit was a blast! They shared their new book, Who Wet My Pants, and showed us early versions of the book and how it was revised to the book it is today. Thank you to Blue Willow Bookshop for sponsoring this event!
Our Watch Dog Dads Program
If you have not yet been a Hamilton Elementary Watch Dog Dad, you will need to attend one of the two training dates.
- October 9 (7:30 am OR 5:30 pm)
- January 15 (7:30 am OR 5:30 pm)
Watch Dog Training Signup: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050b44aaa62aa2f58-20192020
As a First-Timer Watch Dog Dad, you are required to be trained PRIOR to your volunteer date. If this does not happen, you will be asked to reschedule your date or be removed from your date altogether.
You are NOT REQUIRED to attend another training if you have been trained at Hamilton Elementary for our Watch Dog program.
In order to allow as many dads as possible the opportunity to volunteer, only one volunteer date is allowed for the year. If spots are still available later in the spring semester, then information will be sent out that a second volunteer date is being opened for volunteers.
