Spanish Club and other Spanish students from Hamilton High School joined Mrs. Marlatt (HHS) and Mrs. Bloomingdale (Washington Primary) in their first collaboration to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity. April 23rd is United Nations Spanish Language Day (Día del Idioma Español), and April 30 is celebrated annually as Día del Niño (Day of the Child) in Mexico & as El Día de los Niños/El Día de los Libros (Children's Day/Book Day) in the US, honoring children and fostering a love for literacy. In recognition of these 2 days, over 20 high school students volunteered to visit Washington Primary School classes to teach colors, numbers, and animals. The students participated in 20 minute workshops that included simple instruction in Spanish, then tested their retention with games. Students who learned colors played a version of red light green light; students who learned how to count to ten got to count out baby goldfish; and students who learned animals also learned what sounds they make in Spanish and how they are different. Did you know the sound that birds make in Spanish isn't chirp or tweet? It's pio, pio. For more Spanish fun, try looking up children's songs on YouTube. Super Simple Espanol has a great collection of songs that will get stuck in their head and yours! Thank you to everyone who made this visit possible, and hopefully we can do many more in the future!

Wondering about the cost of the proposed safety & technology levies?

For approximately $10/month, a homeowner with a $500,000 home can support both levies!

The Hamilton School District is committed to fiscal responsibility & the continued success of our students. Our goals are to protect the safety of our students & staff while preparing all of our graduates to enter the workforce, trades and/or college!

Our families deserve safe schools that focus on student achievement & maintain basic technology infrastructure! To maintain that focus, we MUST take critical steps to ensure that we can fund the ever increasing costs of safety & technology. This is accomplished through the passage of our proposed levies.
