In place of last year's Team Hansen Awards, which recognized individual students' positive behaviors, recently we introduced a new school-wide system for recognizing and rewarding classrooms / grade-levels for outstanding student behavior, kind acts and doing the right thing. For more details, click here on the Hansen High Five!
Parents, we have more than two full clothing racks of lost clothes, plus water bottles and lunch bags in our main lobby. Please ask your child to check for any of their missing items and bring them home.
When you come in for parent-teacher conferences, Nov. 19th or 20th (scheduled with your child's teacher), please look in our lobby for any items your child may have lost. Any items still in our lobby after conferences will be donated to a local charity on Nov. 22nd. Thank you!
Attention Parents! - School Picture Retake Day is November 15th! If your student missed School Picture Day, or wants a retake, please have them ready on Nov. 15th.
Also, if any family would like assistance in purchasing their child's Picture Day Package, please reach out directly to Mr. McKnight at mcknightp@cantonma.org
Thank you!

Upcoming Events
NEW Fall Book Fair - Parents and Guardians can purchase books for students during parent teacher conferences on November 19 in the evening or November 20 in the afternoon.
The main goal of the Scholastic Book Fairs is to get as many books in the hands of our students as possible. We use the rewards from the Fall and Spring Book Fair to not only get more books to our students at home but also increase availability at school. For the Spring Book Fair we focus on the teachers and the classrooms and for the Fall Book Fair we focus on the library.
We are running three promotions this year!
1. Library Donation Raffle
For every book bought at the Fall Book Fair and donated to the Lt. Peter M. Hansen library your student will receive one (1) raffle ticket for a chance to win $50 to spend at the Spring Book Fair.
There will be six (6) winners, one from each grade for this raffle.
2. E-Wallet Raffle
For every parent/student who buys a book with their e-wallet at the Fall Book Fair will receive one (1) raffle ticket for a chance to win $50 to spend at the Spring Book Fair.
There will be one (1) winner for this raffle.
3. E-Wallet Teacher Contest
The teacher with the highest percentage of students in their class that sign up for an E-Wallet will win $100 to spend at the Spring Book Fair.
