Fred A. Hamilton Students Sing up a Storm

 Permanent link

Congratulations to our Grade 3 to 6 students who were part of the Fred A. Hamilton choir singing O’Canada at the Guelph Storm game on Sunday, January 22nd. Our students sounded wonderful as they represented our school. Thank you to all who were there to sing and to parents who joined us for the game. The event was a great success, right down to our local Storm team defeating the Sarnia Sting. Félicitations à tous!

3 UP - 2 DOWN

 Permanent link

 

We are pleased to announce that FAH is participating in a “Healthy Choices”  initiative called 3 Up 2 Down.   The focus of this initiative is for students to reflect on 3 things they can do to improve their health and consequently their ability to learn.  Students will be encouraged to develop healthy eating habits, increase daily exercise and focus on getting enough sleep each night.  At the same time, we will enourage students to limit 2 things that can negatively impact their health and reduce their ability to learn.  These two things are sugar and junk food intake as well as TV/Video screen time.  In January, students will be tracking their sleep habits.  The class with the best sleep average over a two week period will win a salad party at the end of the month. 

La foire du livre s'en vient!

 Permanent link
The FAH Book Fair is coming!  The book fair will be open daily from December 14 to December 19 for student purchases.  All students will have the opportunity to visit the fair with their class and be given a chance to purchase some new French and/or English books.  The fair will also be open after school until 4pm from December 15-19 and also during the FAH Carol Sing on Thursday, December 15 from 6-8 pm.  This is a great idea for some holiday shopping!
