Two Hamden Hall students placed seventh in the Connecticut Middle School Debate League Winter Tournament out of 61 teams.

On Friday, the Middle School kicked off its Life is Delicious program. Three advisor groups prepared a large meal for the 65 clients of the Columbus House Overflow Shelter. After the cooking was over, the eight students slated to head to the shelter helped to prepare gift bags donated by 7th grader Michael Jones and his mother, Kiku Jones. The gift bags (100 of them!) contained socks, gloves, some food, and other thoughtful items needed by New Haven's homeless. Michael has collected the items each of the last five years; he started a program called "Bridge Socks" after witnessing as a seven year old the conditions the homeless people of his town faced. Although we won't be able to put together the special gift bags for every trip to the shelter, we will serve dinner on three more occasions this winter. We continue to be especially grateful to Christine Fontana, former co-president of the Parent's Association, for all she does to make this project a success.
