Dear WHS Families,
The WHS School Theme for this year is:
"Breaking Boundaries, Exploring OUR World"
Last year's "World Expo" at the Connect 44 Center was the initial point of inspiration for this year's theme at Hammerschmidt. The excitement centered around our community's cultural heritage and families' backgrounds was contagious. It is our hope that we bring that excitement to our students of Hammerschmidt this year!
We aim to break down the barriers of our classroom walls, and extend our learning far-beyond as we explore OUR World! By Observing, Understanding, and Reflecting about the lives of others in distant places, we can learn and grow while also gaining some global perspective. We have been busy planning fun and exciting ways to engage our students in their learning journey this year.
Please join us this year as we break boundaries and explore our world!
