Our first fundraiser will be a quick 30 minute fun run for students. A pledge form will be going home with students today. Please reach out to Miss Kate delgiacco@hampsteadacademy.org with any questions. Rain date will be September 30th. Coffee with Mindy During the last week of each month, our Head of School will reserve a morning to spend with parents over coffee or tea. On Friday, September 30th at 9:00am parents are welcome to come on in and chat about how things are going, and share/discuss some fun ideas for future events and activities. Hampstead Academy Makerspace with Ms. Cummings Wednesday October 5th 5PM - 6:30PM SIGN UP HERE and join us at Hampstead Academy for a Makerspace Night, where creativity and engineering practices unite to spark ideas, collaboration, perseverance, and joy! For this first time, you can arrive without supplies, but please bring your can-do attitude. Chances are, once you discover the many ways that you can upcycle your recycled materials, you will most likely be turning your recycle bin at home into a receptacle for a variety of ideas. We have limited space for 25 students to participate. Parents are welcome to come and have fun creating, but please keep in mind this makerspace is student driven and will be a chance for students to explore their own ideas and initiate design and construction. If there is space remaining for students outside of our Hampstead Community, we would love to have them join us. Bring a friend for a $5.00 admission fee to cover the cost of supplies. I hope to see you in the upstairs STEAM Lab on Wednesday, October 5, from 5:00 - 6:30, for our first Makerspace Night! STEAM Club SIGN UP HERE Mr. Thomas Meehan, Mae Marie’s father, has been kind enough to lead the STEAM Club. The cost is $8/hour for students not attending scheduled Extended Day.

Genius hour this week was filled with friends! Older students paired up and helped our younger students answer questions like “How does an owl’s head move around?” or “What happens to animals when they go into space?” Students are exploring their curiosities and learning how to do research to find the answers to their own questions.
In Ms. Faro’s art class, students have been learning the color wheel and how it shows the relationship between primary colors, secondary colors, and tertiary colors.
