Dear Robert Hunter Families,
This past week 1st graders enjoyed a handwashing program led by the Hunterdon County Health Department. We had student representatives participate on our Food Advisory Committee and shared their feedback with Maschios about school lunches. Also, a group of 4th graders (representatives from Mrs. Smits' 3rd grade class from last school year) presented their proposal for bathroom upgrades at our PTO meeting. They did a great job, and we love seeing our students take action with their ideas!
We are approaching the end of our first trimester. Our students have shown such growth academically, socially, and emotionally so far this year. We are looking forward to sharing more about your children’s growth and progress at conferences this upcoming week. As a reminder, Nov. 21, 22, 25, 25, 26, and 27 will be early dismissal days. Dismissal will be at 1:20.
Many after-school clubs will not be held this week - please check the dates below carefully.
This Friday is Substitute Appreciation Day- we are so grateful for our substitutes who support our school community. If you are interested in becoming a substitute in our district, please reach out to us for more information.
Warm regards,
Jessica Braynor and Lindsay Shirvanian

Our school climate team has developed a goal focused on community engagement for this year. We have enjoyed seeing many families coming into school as guest readers or classroom helpers, and we have loved having families join us at whole school meetings when their children are hosting. We encourage you to reach out to your child’s teacher if you would like to help out or share something with the class, perhaps about your profession, a special skill, or your cultural background. And if anyone has ideas for supporting community engagement, please feel free to email Mrs. Braynor.
It was great seeing many RH families at our PTO meeting on Tuesday. Mrs. Smits and a bright group of fourth grade students presented a very persuasive argument for renovating the school bathrooms. The PTO is THRILLED to be able to fund the project with the help of Ciocca Chevrolet's donation of $500. We hope that the efforts of this team will inspire others to collaborate and make positive impacts in our school community. For those interested in assisting with the bathroom remodeling efforts, please contact Carolyn Cuperwich at cthomas.musician@gmail.com. Your continuous support is greatly appreciated!
