Welcome to the New School Year!
Dear Hamden Hall Families,
Welcome back to all returning families and a big WELCOME to all our new families! We hope you all had a nice, relaxing summer, and it is with great excitement we invite you to another fun and successful year!
We are coming off a recording-breaking year in our fundraising events, and attendance at our Parents’ Association meetings was at an all-time high. We hope to continue our success this year!
We support our school through yearly pledges that are always geared towards the benefit of our children. Members of the Parents’ Association are present at all school events and are available to answer any questions or concerns you many have or about how you can become involved.
Upon enrollment, parents automatically become members of our Parents’ Association, and we want all families to feel that they are a part of our very special Hamden Hall community. All parents are always invited to participate in Parents’ Association events. By being involved, you will be able to enjoy interacting with our students, getting to know our faculty and becoming friends with other parents and participate in things that will make a difference in our school. Please contact us if you would like to be more involved.
Please be sure to visit the Hamden Hall link on the Hamden Hall Country Day School website often to keep yourself informed of school-wide events, meeting dates and volunteer opportunities. This year in addition to our traditional fundraisers: Photo Day, Thanksgiving Pie Sale and Plant Sale, we have our Gold Athletics Fundraiser coming in September. We will also, once again, partner in the 29th Annual Hamden Hall Golf Tournament in June. Finally, we have a wonderful event scheduled in November!
The Garland and Glam Fashion Show! Get your holiday shopping started early – Have a fun night with friends – Enjoy fashions by Flirt of Hamden and Backers of Orange – Vendor Shopping. Our wonderful models include parents, both Moms and Dads, and students! Help make this a record event for the Parents’ Association!
We thank you in advance for your support!
