Salute to Our Heroes on Monday, November 11
Hamilton Elementary School
Salute to Our Heroes
Monday, November 11, 2019
9:15 a.m.
We are very fortunate to live in America. As Americans, we have many freedoms. These freedoms are protected by the men and women who have served and are currently serving in the U.S. armed forces—Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines and Navy including all the Reserves.
Salute to Our Heroes is Hamilton Elementary’s way of saying thank you to our students’ family members for serving our country. We are excited to honor our Veterans. Students, their Veteran and a guest will be treated to a special performance by the 5th Grade Choir and a breakfast served by our Student Council in the cafeteria. To conclude the morning, all students at Hamilton will recognize the service men and women as the Veterans walk the halls during a patriotic pep-rally.
We would like to include a slideshow of our Veterans. If you have a photograph of your Veteran in uniform and have not submitted a photograph, you can email one digital photograph to meredith.tobler@cfisd.net
If your Veteran will be able to attend, please RSVP online at https://forms.gle/Cuh1srhQvKqm29QJ8. Due to limited seating and fire marshal regulations, each veteran will only be allowed one guest.
RSVP and one photo due by Wednesday, October 30th. Photo should be emailed to meredith.tobler@cfisd.net
Lending-to-Learn Program
Your child has the option to check out a Chromebook and Kajeet wifi hotspot for home use. The Kajeet device provides filtered wifi blocking social media and YouTube. In order to participate in the Lending to Learn program, parents must first sign the agreement form which will be kept on file in the library for the entire year. Then each day a student wants to take home a laptop and hotspot, a slip must be turned in that morning to the library. At dismissal, students stop by the library to pick up the assigned devices and place inside their backpacks. Devices are to be returned the next morning by 9:00 a.m.. If you have any questions about the Lending to Learn program, please contact our librarian at jennifer.lucas@cfisd.net.
The Great Pumpkin is back!
What a Day of Awesomeness!
