Welcome
back to a new school year. We would like
to welcome our new and returning students, parents and staff. The Stanhope
H.S.A. would like to welcome our new teachers, Mr. Eldred, Mrs. Swart, Mrs.
Winsor, and our new Technology Coordinator, Mr. Traina to
Congratulations
to this year’s winners of the H.S.A. Open House Attendance Awards. First place went to Mrs. Henry and her second
grade class. Second place was a three
way tie. The winners were Mrs. Curran
and her kindergarten class, Mrs. Forest and her third grade class and Mrs.
Jaust and her second grade class.
We
have some new events planned, one being the Walkathon which just took place. To all the parents and students who
participated in the Walkathon, your efforts helped to make this event such a
great success. We thank you for your
continued support. Please remember that
the pledge bills are in the process of being mailed. Please remind your child’s sponsors to send
in their pledge payments immediately. The
payment needs to arrive before the due date.
Please remember that each prompt payment will increase the monies raised
for our school by not having to send out another costly billing. Thanks for
your cooperation. I would like to thank
the following parents and grandparents who took time out of their busy
schedules to volunteer on the day of the Walkathon:

Thanks go out to the families
and faculty members who ordered in September.
I would also like to thank the volunteers who made reminder calls and
who helped out the day of the sale. For
those of you who are not familiar with Market Day, it is a school food
fundraiser in which our school earns at least 10% profit of all orders
placed. With the profit, we are able to
purchase folders for Kindergarten and Student Homework Assignment Planners for
the rest of the school. Every month an
order form is sent home. Order and pick-up dates are located on the back of the
order form. All products are covered by
a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Take a
minute and look it over, there are many specials and new items. If you would like to place an order, complete
the form and send it back to school or you can order online at www.marketday.com. (There is a direct
link from our section of the school web site.)
October order forms are due back by Friday, October 12th. Pick-up is Thursday, October 18th
between 4:00 – 5:00pm.
Welcome back to school. The
