Recently, Mr. Remillard's middle school students came to meet with some of our preschoolers to design 3-D figures. In turn, the HMS students created the figures in wood and brought them back last week as a gift for their preschool buddies to paint. It was a fun, creative partnership activity between our middle schoolers and preschoolers.

To celebrate Thanksgiving, the hallways became alive with our own first-grade version of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade called “Balloons Over Broadway.” Students designed their own balloon characters and proudly paraded around the school showcasing their creative and fun balloon designs. Following the parade was a spirited, Gr 1 performance of the Turkey Tango!
Our Kindergarteners also participated in the parade with their annual "Turkey Trot" in which they showcased the colorful turkeys. Students put a lot of time and creative detail into their turkey friends! Yesterday was a day of festive Thanksgiving fun throughout the school! Happy Thanksgiving from HCS!

Last week, all third grade students had the opportunity to participate in Caine's Arcade, an interactive, collaborative STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) project. Each small group collaborated on one arcade design. Over the course of several days, the students used the engineering design model to plan, build, revise and construct the games. The culminating day was our Day of Play when students were able to celebrate their accomplishments through a day of playing each other's games.

Last Thursday our fourth graders had a fun field trip to Concord to visit the NH Historical Society and the NH State House. The field trip featured a tour of the statehouse, a visit to the senate and house chambers, and a visit to the governor's office. One group even got to meet the governor! While at the Historical Society Museum, students learned about NH history and artifacts of the past. This field trip was a great opportunity for our fourth graders to learn about and celebrate our great state of New Hampshire!

We’re excited to launch a community art project at HCS in honor of Mr. T, one that will bring color, joy, and connection to our school walls. Here is a brief video describing the project. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nKU7j0RguAcBASc8dhdcmKqlJIdR0w49/view?ts=68dc82d3

A Special Message for the Hampstead School Community.....
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Hampstead community for the incredible outpouring of love and support following the sudden passing of Michael.
As you know, Michael devoted 34 years to doing what he loved, teaching at the Hampstead Central School. It has been unbelievable to see how many lives he has touched. We had almost 900 people come through the wake and the church was filled to capacity for his funeral. Students from the last three decades, from 34 years ago to current students, came through to tell us how much he had affected and influenced their lives and reminded us of the lasting legacy he leaves behind.
We are so grateful for the beautiful flowers, mass cards, kind words, and thoughtful prayers from friends, current and former students, colleagues, and community members. Each message, memory, and gesture has brought comfort during an unimaginably difficult time.
Thank you for honoring his memory with us with such an outpouring of support and with such warmth, generosity and shared sorrow. The support of so many people has meant the world to us during this incredibly difficult time.
With heartfelt appreciation,
The Terrile Family
