Growing Community Leaders
September Citizenship Recognition - Respect
At our October PTO meeting, we celebrated our Hamilton Student Citizens for demonstrating RESPECT across our school during the month of September. Each classroom chose a student who exemplified respect in the classroom, at recess, in the lunchroom, during specials, and during arrival/dismissal. Students invited their families to a special celebration held during our PTO (Parent/Teacher Organization) meeting and were awarded a t-shirt and certificate. We will continue to recognize students each month as we work to grow the core character values that are important in growing our students into becoming strong community leaders. The core character value that students are learning about during the month of October is Responsibility - Taking action and understanding the impact of our choices.
Great volunteer turnout!
Thank you to our dads and father figures who came out to find out how they could sign on to volunteer at Hamilton! A special thank you to the current Watch D.O.G.S. who shared about the impact they see and feel from their time spent helping out at school! It was a great turnout! If you were not able to attend but would like to know more about how you could participate, please contact Tatum Johnson @ tatum.johnson@ahschools.us or 763-506-2730.

FUNDRAISER ENDS - November 7
Every dollar goes to support Hamilton students!
One of our most effective fundraisers at Hamilton is Clubs Choice. Clubs Choice offers a variety of products, from food and giftwrap to housewares. Students will bring home packets on October 23rd to share with family and friends. Orders will arrive by December 6th. Every dollar earned through fundraisers at Hamilton is invested in our students. Our PTO funds fieldtrip experiences, playground equipment, patrols, and so much more. Thank you for considering how you can support Hamilton!
