We are looking for a 35th Anniversary Design (1978-2013) for this year's Spirit Week T-Shirt.  Although it is late notice (our apologies!), designs need to be submitted to Stacy Kutzelman by this Monday, May 20th for voting.

The winning design will receive free t-shirts for their immediate family.

Students in Grades One and Two at Hampstead Academy have been busy little Elves during this holiday season. In anticipation of the Hampstead Academy Holiday Store, the children worked at home doing chores throughout November and December in order to earn shopping money for gifts.

The children were delighted to choose gifts for their families as a reward for all their hard work, but were even more pleased to know that the funds they raised would go to a good cause. The children decided that the money raised at their store should go to St. Anne’s Food Pantry in Hampstead. The children donated over $200 to food pantry.

To continue our committment to helping the residents of Emmaus House, the fourth grade students made fleece blankets for the residents. Two blankets, one for a girl and one for a boy, will be delivered in time for the holiday to be distributed to children at the shelter.

Mark your calendar - this event will be held January 22-25! This very special community service program will help raise awareness of heart health as well as raise funds to fight our nation’s No. 1 and No. 4 killers- cardiovascular disease and stroke.

Thank you all for your effort and financial donations offered for our recent Jump Rope For Heart Fundraiser.

The final tally for the fundraiser totaled $3180; our original goal was for $2500.

Students in grade five prepared close to 90 Easter eggs for the children of Emmaus House, a shelter for families in transition located in Haverhill, Ma. The eggs were delivered just in time for the big Easter egg hunt.

An extremely generous group of families from Mrs. Parker’s fourth grade class teamed up with Scholastic Book Clubs to provide a warm pair of pajamas and a bedtime book for more than twenty-five children who live in group homes, shelters, foster care, and orphanages by participating in The Great Bedtime Story Pajama Drive.
