It's a Super Week at Hampden!

STUDENT T-SHIRTS DISTRIBUTED 
T-shirts purchased by the Hampden PTO are being sent home with your student(s) today.  These T-shirts are worn on field trips and other designated school events.  Please have your student(s) wear their orange Hampden t-shirt this Thursday, October 4 for an All-Student Hampden photo.

HAMPDEN BIRTHDAY TREAT GUIDELINES
Non-food items are a great choice for birthday celebrations.  Stickers, book markers, erasers, or pencils are fun, non-sticky, and they include everybody, especially classmates who have food allergies or other health conditions.  In order to assure the safety of all of our students and to comply with District guidelines, we ask that Hampden parents/guardians observe the following when sending in food-item treats for our classroom celebrations:
* Please send in store-bought goods so that labels can be referenced for allergy and nutritional information.
* Mini cupcakes or mini muffins are ideal rather than full-size baked goods.
* Individually wrapped snacks such as pretzels, popcorn, rice crispy treats, granola bars, Italian ice cups, and popsicles are preferred.

AUTHOR VISIT -- OCTOBER 25
Funny poet, Paul Orshoski, will be visiting Hampden on October 25.  We are looking forward to hearing him share his poems and experiences with our building.  If you would like to order a signed book, make sure to return the book order form and cash to the office by October 10.
