February 23, 2014


Snow, snow, and more snow!  Due to the number of snow days we have had, I’ve had to make some adjustments in my plans.  Please take note of the following updates and as always, feel free to contact me if you have questions.
Field Trip:  We will be going on a field trip on Friday, February 28.  We were scheduled to attend the Grand Rapids Symphony and then head over to Calvin College.  Calvin informed us that they also had to make up some events that were cancelled due to weather and would no longer be able to host us.  We have been busy exploring possibilities of how we could use our time in the afternoon.  At this point, we are planning to visit Aquinas College for the p.m. portion of our field trip.  We also became aware of a grant opportunity that we may be able to utilize that would cover the cost of both bussing and lunch.  Hopefully we will have a response to our request on Monday.  As soon as we know if there will be a cost for your child, we will let you know.  Please have students dress nicely on Friday as they will be representing Hamilton Elementary at both the Symphony and Aquinas. 

Conferences:  Thank you to those of you who have responded to your scheduled conference time.  While I would really like the students to lead their own conference, we have not had enough time in the classroom to put together student led conferences.  Your child is invited and encouraged to join us at your scheduled time.
