Spelling Bee
The North Hampton School annual Spelling Bee was, once again, a big success. With 27 students participating and a large crowd in attendance, students were impressive demonstrating their spelling skills. The rounds continued until there were just 3 students left. We had 3 rounds without stumping the three finalists and three more with two students. Ultimately, Adeline Hass was the winner, correctly spelling the word ‘cabeza.’ The runner up was Wyn Raksakulthai. Third place went to Greta Kounavis.

Cardiac Screening Opportunity for Gr. 5-8
North Hampton School will be partnering with an organization called “Who We Play For” to offer cardiac screenings to students in grade 5-8 on Feb. 17, 2025. (See flyer at the bottom of this email for more details.) The cost for this screening is $20. If you would like to have your child screened, but need financial assistance, please let Nurse Mara know. An electrocardiogram is painless, non-invasive, and only takes 5 minutes to complete. Each ECG will be read by a board certified pediatric cardiologist. I will send reminders about this opportunity in January. All sign ups are online through the “Who We Play For” registration portal. Many thanks to Asst. Supt. Mary Toomey and the SAU 21 school nurses for bringing this to our school.
