Many of you have asked what had happened to our gazebo in the screening area. Watch the video that was just posted. The act of Mother nature caught on camera...

STEM challenges are a regular part of Lower Elementary students hands-on learning experiences. The task here was to create the tallest tower (at least 10 inches tall) that could stand for a minute without falling down, using only straws and pipe cleaners, and, within a set time limit. Our students' imagination, problem solving, engineering and creating thinking skills were put to the test while having loads of fun.

Last weekend's storm

Our Dear Mr. Hatch...

We REMEMBERed today. Each classroom participated in the 2 minutes of silence in-class and online, to remember and to express our gratitude to those who fought for us and sacrificed their life for our future. We also remembered for our very own veteran, Mr. Bill Hatch whose family owned and lived in our building giving us our school's name. Mr. Hatch fought in WWII at the age of 15. He had been a regular visitor at our school for many years and shared fascinating stories about his family, himself and Hatch House. On Remembrance Days he spoke of his military rankings and his experiences as an air cadet and gifted us with priceless photographs of past history. Sadly, Mr. Hatch had passed away at the age of 94 just before our new school year started. Lest We Forget.

Lower Elementary students love their new space this year. Whether on the floor, on a table, outside or online they are eager to dive into learning every day.

Toddlers, after carving their pumpkin and feeling and experiencing the slimy pumpkin goop with all their senses, spiced up their day even more with a fun dance session.

Wishing you all a Spook-tacular Halloween with the toddlers' pumpkin creations!
