EXCELLENCE
As we near the end of November, it’s a perfect time to reflect on all we have to be thankful for in the Hanover Township Public Schools. This season of gratitude reminds us of the incredible community we share, built on dedication, support, and a shared commitment to excellence.
Congratulations to our hardworking students for successfully completing the first quarter of the school year! Your efforts and enthusiasm light the way for continued success. To our teachers and staff—your unwavering dedication to nurturing and inspiring our students is truly commendable. And to our parents and guardians—your support and involvement are vital to the strength of our schools and the success of our students.
As we embrace the start of the holiday season, let’s take time to savor the moments that matter most. Whether gathered with loved ones or reflecting quietly, this is a season to cherish what we hold dear. I am so grateful to be part of this extraordinary community, and I wish you all a season filled with gratitude, joy, and togetherness.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Science in Action
Grade 3 students are learning a lot about crayfish as part of their FOSS Structures of Life Science unit. Through comparison they are discovering how crayfish are similar and different to other living creatures. They also are learning about exoskeletal and skeletal systems.
Thank you, Veterans!
Grade 4 students learned about the importance of Veterans Day, by reading America's White Table by Margot Raven, a symbolic tribute to U.S. military service members. The "white table" represents a solemn ritual observed in many military settings, especially in military mesh halls. Pictured is a white table, along with the students' thank you notes to our veterans.
PTA Partnership
All students had fun participating in the "Reading Rocks" assembly. This was a blend of stage magic, comedy, music and audience participation that motivated students to engage in further reading. Thank you to the Salem Drive PTA for sponsoring this wonderful opportunity.
