Thursday, Nov. 1

This coming Thursday, November 1, we will be going on a field trip to the Van Andel Museum. All costs of this trip are covered by a grant so there is no cost for the children! Our day will be spent learning more about the American Indians. Please encourage your child to dress nicely as he/she will be representing Hamilton Elementary. In addition, please make sure your child has a sack lunch. The plan is to leave school at 9:00 and return to Hamilton around 2:45. Have a wonderful week!

Black and Orange Day

On Wednesday, October 31, we will be having a "Black and Orange Day."  All students are encouraged to wear black and orange for the festivities!!

Oudoor Discovery Center

Despite the cold and windy weather conditions, we enjoyed our day at the Outdoor Discovery Center on Friday. We learned about American Indians homes, how they hunted, and had an opportunity to explore many artifacts. We completed a weaving craft when we arrived back at Hamilton Elementary.

Read-a-thon

I would like to thank you ALL for participating in our read-a-thon. We raised a significant amount of money that we will be able to use for field trip transportation. Enjoy these pictures of the kids reading and celebrating success!!

Read-a-thon and Field Trip

What a terrific read-a-thon we had today! The fifth grade raised over $1,100.00! Thank you all for your generosity! We will be using this money during the course of the year to pay for transportation to various field trips. Our first field trip will be next week Friday, October 12. We will be going to the Outdoor Discovery Center for the Native American experience. Each child will need to be dressed appropriately to be outside most of the day and a disposable sack lunch. If you have not done so already, please send in $4.00 to cover the entrance fee for your child. Have a great weekend!!
