In place of last year's Team Hansen Awards, which recognized individual students' positive behaviors, we recently 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!
Canton Public Schools Nurse Leader Lauren Pushard recently received a letter from Eastern Bank recognizing Hansen Health Office's Nurse Bethany and Nurse Denise as part of their Thank a Community Hero program. Congratulations, Nurse Bethany & Nurse Denise!
Parents, we have more than two full clothing racks of lost clothes, water bottles and lunch bags in our main lobby. Please ask your child to check for any of their missing items.
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!
In-School Programming
In-school assemblies are funded by the Hansen CAPT. Here's a look at some that are upcoming:
Echo Dance Troop - This high intense dance group with an anti-bullying message will be in school on November 19.
Ms. Money - This financial literary presenter will be in school for some classes on April 2.
Upcoming Events
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. (Students will not purchase gifts at this one.)
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 Book Fair to fund new books for the Hansen school 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 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.
