Christmas Break is coming

Christmas Break is coming, we have lots left to do,

Take tests, have parties, and buy a gift or two.

The children are excited, counting down the days

‘Til school is out and Christmas is on it’s way.

In all this hustle and bustle, as we have a lot of fun,

Remember we celebrate the gift of His Son!

Book/Bible Sales at Christmas Programs

But you most likely still have some shopping to do.

Our book store sells books and Bibles at cost,

To help be a resource for our families to exhaust.

The store in the lobby will be open after and before

And will take cash, check or card before you head out the door.

Early Dismissals

Dismissals this week could be complicated for you

If you arrive at the wrong time and don’t know what to do.

Should you be early, should you come late?

Please make a note of the early dismissals – they’ll keep you straight.

• K4-K5 – Dismiss at 11:30 a.m. every day this week

If you arrive early to carline, you’ll shriek.

Because carline for other grades at 11:15 a.m. begins

Waiting closer to 11:30, the carline should thin.

• Grades 1-6 – On December 19-21, at 11:15 a.m. will dismiss,

Parents of students in grades 1-6 should note this.

• Grades 7-12 – On December 19-20, at 11:30 a.m. last exams will end

And at that time out the Panther Doors, students will descend.

However, on December 21, you won’t want to be late

Dismissal is an early 11:00 a.m. on that date.

• Everyone will want to note

This important child care info, and I quote,

“On Friday, there will be no child care”

And we do not want to catch you unaware.

Christmas Sweater Day – Friday, December 21

Friday is Christmas Sweater/Shirt Day!

It’s not the time to be reserved, shy or grey.

Put on some sparkle, light up and shine,

Or wear a low-key Christmas top, that is also fine.

Christmas Break

A day long anticipated for students and for teachers, too,

Friday, December 21, is the last day of school, it flew!

Early dismissal was mentioned above ~

Christmas break is an event that everyone loves.

It won’t last forever, though we all yearn,

On January 7, the students will return.

Chinese Student Exchange Program

For the last several years, Hampton Park has played host

To a large group of students from China, they boast.

Our Hampton Park families have opened their homes

And made students a part of their life whereever they roamed.

We still need some families who are willing to say,

“I am willing to be a house where one stays!”

From January 16-February 13 to Greenville they reside

Learning our customs, language, school and lessons we provide.

Host families will receive $400 for each child

For housing, food and entertainment – you will make them smile!

If you are interested or would like to say “yes!”

Please email kevinpriest@hamptonpark.org – you’re the best!

Used Uniform Sale – Friday, January 11

The uniforms from Lost and Found that are never claimed

And don’t make it back to their owners, is always such a shame.

At this point, it seems like a total loss;

But the senior class takes the lost uniforms that someone else might toss

And has a Used Uniform Sale to help our families out ~

When students have grown too much and need new clothes, without a doubt.

On Friday, January 11, the Used Uniform Sale will take place,

From 3:00-4:00 p.m. in M213 – no other space.

Since most items will cost just a buck, more or less,

You can get some new-to-you clothes without much stress.

SCACS Art

Some of your children may have signed up to compete in art.

To begin the art projects over Christmas break would be smart.

The deadline for turning in SCACS art to school

Is Wednesday, January 16, and that is the rule.

The art must arrive in the MAC before school starts

To be judged by some artists who have some art smarts.

Spirit Week

All students are invited to participate in Spirit Week!

Each day is exciting, fun and unique!

In case you have time over the holiday break

To take time to shop and a costume create.

Please make note of the days that have been planned

So that students will have spirit and will not be bland.

• Homeroom Wars – each class chooses it’s theme
• Student Stereotypes – the athlete, class clown, nerd or geek or more
