We have a very large lost and found collection in the student lounge. Most of the items there probably belong to students who do not realize they are missing them, so please encourage your student to look through them.
All items that remain after May 25th will be donated to a charity or disposed of.
Thank you,

Dear Parents,

 

One of our most popular and successful student events last year was our Cool Schools sleepover. Therefore, we have decided to open HHNE next Thursday night, May 3 for a sleepover at school. Students will stay after school and chaperones will be on hand for supervision (and to enforce curfew!) and to assist us with the evening program.

 

Students will need to bring a sleeping bag, toiletries, and night clothes and a change of clothing for the morning, and we recommend they bring a pillow and towel as well.

 

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to be in touch with me directly at 860-231-0317 x108 or via e-mail at trencher@hhne.org.

 

Thank you,
Shimmy Trencher

 

P.S. 64 out of 70 students have indicated that they intend to sleep over. Therefore, we would prefer not to run costly transportation to/from Springfield and New Haven for Thursday night and Friday morning. If you require it, please let us know and we will assist you in making appropriate transportation arrangements.

 

P.P.S. We also plan on building the largest blanket fort on record, and we encourage you to send blankets and flat sheets with your child on Thursday to assist us in this vital effort. :-)
