Welcome to Hampstead Hill Academy!

Vision Statement

Hampstead Hill seeks to be a safe, nurturing, diverse, family-friendly neighborhood school with rigorous, effective academic
programs and exciting, engaging extracurricular activities. We believe all parents want the same thing for their children: more and
better opportunities for college and career. We believe in the importance of the arts, and we want our students to be great
communicators, listeners and writers. Our students will be forward thinkers, persistent, responsible, caring, dependable and healthy
members of the greater community.

Mission Statement

Hampstead Hill Academy is a neighborhood public charter school that exists to educate children living in both our attendance area
and throughout Baltimore City. Our talented staff uses research-based curriculum to develop and implement rigorous lesson plans
that continuously raise the academic bar for our students. Our whole school community is dedicated to working together to
challenge our students to succeed in a fair, consistent, just and joyful learning environment.

ICE to release Jesus Peraza and return him to his family. Without him,
his wife, his children, including a child due in the next week or two,
will be deprived of the emotional, financial, and physical security a
father and husband provides. Stop this shameful and misguided

colleagues, friends and family.

HHA would like to thank outgoing PTO President Kelly Navas-Migueloa and
outgoing Treasurer Karen Tong for their dedicated service to the staff and
students of Hampstead Hill Academy. Best of luck in all of your future
endeavors and know that you will always be remembered for the impact that
you have had on our school!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who had a part in the success of Hampstead Hill Nights.
Success is based on how we come together as a school community. This is always evident at Hampstead Hill
Nights. However, this year even more so! On the last night, as the rain drew near, we worked as a community
and team to move inside. The transition was so smooth and effortless due to the many hands that pitched in
to help out. We truly have a wonderful school community. I thank you so much for all that you do!

COUNCILMAN ZEKE COHEN TO SPEAK AT 8TH GRADE CLOSING

Councilman Zeke Cohen grew up in Northampton, Massachusetts, the son of a social worker and a psychiatrist. Zeke's belief
Zeke Cohen that "community comes first," was inspired by his mother's stories of marching for Civil Rights, and registering
voters during the Mississippi Freedom Summer. At eighteen, Zeke moved to Baltimore to study political science
at Goucher College. As Student Government Association President, he created the Social Justice Grant Program,
which continues to fund student-led, community-based projects in Baltimore. After college Zeke joined Teach
For America and taught middle school social studies in West Baltimore. After Teach for America, Zeke attained
a Masters Degree in Public Policy from Johns Hopkins with a focus on improving cities. As a grad-student, Zeke
founded his own non-profit, The Intersection. Zeke started The Intersection with two fellow teachers to
empower the next generation of young leaders. He saw that in order to move Baltimore forward, we must view
our young people as agents of positive change. Zeke’s work has been featured in numerous publications
including the Baltimore Sun, the Baltimore Business Journal, WYPR, The Washington Post and Ozy Magazine. He
was named one of MD’s Top Twenty Leaders in Their Twenties, and won the We Are The Dream Award for
service from the Baltimore Youth Commission. Zeke is proud to own a home in Canton.

8TH GRADE CLOSING - DETAILS, DETAILS, AND MORE DETAILS

have a retirement party before the end of the school year. We hope to see both
of these teachers back at HHA to visit often.

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

Dear Mr. S,
You have been an amazing teacher over my years at HHA. One of my favorite classes is gym but having you as a teacher has made it so much
better. Since the moment I came to HHA, you have been one of my favorite teachers because you always instilled in us what it means to be a good
person. I wish the best for you in the next chapter of your life. You have been a great teacher to every student. I'll miss our talks and playing
volleyball, basketball and dodge ball with you. You are the best, and we will see you soon. Love, Jordan Trent

Dear Ms. Bartz,
I am so sad that you are retiring this year. HHA will miss you dearly. Ever since I met you, you had such a caring heart. I remember the first day of
3rd grade, when I was the new kid. You made me feel like I belonged at this school. You inspired me to read more, and you made me more caring. I
wanted to be just like you. My favorite memory that I have is when you gave me a letter that said to follow your dreams and never give up.
Thank you Ms. Bartz - I wish you well in your retirement. Love, Alexis Cabezas

Students did many experiments in science this month and just completed a portfolio project about
the water cycle. They have worked hard on their writing this month and are working on perfecting

working through to the end. There is still new content to be learned and students will work until
the end. Be sure to continue daily fact practice with your child. Also, make sure your child is doing

Science: Students took part in a Science Expo held Friday, May 26th. Parents and students had
the opportunity to view the projects. Votes were cast for favorite projects. In the last two

concepts in geometry.

Science: Students have completed the chemistry unit with the Element Brochure and Atomic Model project. They chose an element from the
Periodic Table and created an illustrated brochure to detail important information about that element. Students also used various materials to
create a physical model of the atom of their element. Over the past three years, the 8th grade students have learned the foundations of earth,
space, life and physical science that will carry them far through high school and college coursework.

LEADERS GO PLACES

Last month, 33 of our middle school students who earned Platinum
leadership status this year attended a special incentive trip to Camp Letts
where they participated in various camping activities over three days and
two nights. Students participated in archery, zip lining, canoeing,

FOOD FOR LIFE

Students in PreK and kindergarten have been learning about seeds, and students in grades 1
and 2 were busy peeling carrots and tasting different super foods like kale, beets and
asparagus. Students in grades 3 and 4 tasted different herbs and spices and created spice
mixtures for popcorn. Students in grades 5 and 6 have been inventing their own vinaigrette
salad dressings, and students in grades 7 and 8 have been making flags of food from different
countries. Check out the American flag made out of foods native to the Americas (cornbread,
blueberries, strawberries), and the flag of Mexico made with foods native to Mexico (corn
tortillas, avocadoes, beans, tomatoes, limes and more).

Monarch butterfly. They are super excited with the science unit, Wings and Things, and

are learning how animals and insects use mimicry and camouflage to defend and protect

themselves. Students in grade 2 are learning about the importance of the water cycle.

Ask your child how the water from a puddle ends up in the spout of a whale. Your child

will know the answer. Students in grade 3 are learning about the wonders of folktales

and how some Peruvians explain why there is a fox in the moon. Did you know that a

crescent moon is the best moon to tie a rope to? Students in grades 4 and 5 are learning

about cooperation by taking part in team building activities. They have also been making

inferences based on what they see in pictures. Students in grade 6 have been improving

their language skills by integrating content from their mainstream classes, and students

in grades 7 and 8 have been building vocabulary by identifying and defining new

adjectives to describe people's attributes.

ENRICHMENT NEWS

Students in grade 4 recently enjoyed visiting the Baltimore Museum of Art for four
consecutive Fridays as part of the Close Encounters Program. They learned that art
expresses and inspires stories and by observing and thinking about art, they can connect it to
their own lives and stories. Students ended the trip in the studio, designing collages to
reflect artistic ideas of their own. All GAL students will use the last few weeks of school to
reflect on the year, organize their portfolios and set some goals for the summer. Parents,
please be on the lookout
for a GAL parent survey
which will come home
soon. Your questions and
ideas will truly help the
GAL program develop at

members visited Future Care Nursing Home throughout the year to make the University of Maryland
seasonal crafts with the residents. They also hosted a drive to collect fun
and colorful Band-aids for children spending time at the University of
Maryland Hospital. The members also volunteered their time hosting a
bake sale and collecting food for The Maryland Food Bank. The biggest
event was a very successful paint night. Over 40 kids spent an afternoon
painting a ceramic bank and sharing snacks with friends. The money that
was raised by this event will be used to purchase items from the wish list
of The Child Life Center at University of Maryland. The members served
the community well and look forward to another successful year for the
2017-2018 school year!
