It's a Great Week to be a Dragon!

VETERANS DAY ASSEMBLY 
Our Veterans Day Assembly is on Monday, November 12, 2018. If you have immediate family who have served or are serving now, we invite one veteran representative from your family and one guest (due to limited space and parking) to attend our program on November 12th at 10:00 am. Please RSVP by Friday, November 2. To RSVP and for more information, click here. To all of our Hampden veterans, we are thankful for your service to us, and hope that you will be able to join us for this event.

GENTLY USED PRESCRIPTION EYE GLASSES NEEDED 
The CV Africa Club is collecting gently used prescription eye glasses in order to aid African children/parents. To help out, we will be collecting glasses here at Hampden through November 21.  This is a great way to recycle prescription glasses that you no longer need.  A collection box will be available in the Hampden lobby to receive your eye glass donations.

In observance of the Thanksgiving holiday, there will be no school Thursday, November 22 through Monday, November 26.  Also, please note that on Wednesday, November 21, we will have 1/2 day of school with a noon dismissal.  There will be no PM Kindergarten or lunch on this day.
