TOP NEWS STORIES

BUDGET NOT GOOD

City Schools added a little less than 1% to the charter per pupil amount of money for next

year, which does not nearly keep pace with inflation, salaries and rising benefits costs.

Last year, City Schools cut nearly 3% from the charter per pupil amount, and the year

before that they began systemically undercounting low-income students from immigrant

families in Baltimore City. This undercounting continues to cost HHA several hundred

thousand dollars a year. Needless to say, the last three budget cycles have been rough.

With newly imposed fees for tuition reimbursement and sick leave conversion kicking in

on top of the benefits we are always charged by the district, HHA is down approximately

$214K next year. To plug this budget gap, we are adding a limited number of students to

our current enrollment, dipping a bit into our capital reserve and cutting one non-

instructional position. We are working with Strong Schools Maryland, BUILD, and SIGN UP FOR THE RALLY AT WWW.HHA47.ORG
Maryland IAF to advocate that the Kirwan Commission’s recommendations (see:

www.strongschoolsmaryland.org) be passed in FY20 and funded in FY21. We are

encouraged by the work in Annapolis this session of Delegate Maggie McIntosh, Chairperson of the Appropriations Committee and

Senator Bill Ferguson, Co-Chair of the Budget and Taxation Committee as they attempt to fulfill the promise of a better Maryland.

Delegate McIntosh and Senator Ferguson are working hard to ensure that Baltimore’s school children are no longer short-changed to the tune of

nearly $300M per year, which is the state’s own estimate of the underfunding of our schools.

The arts are alive and thriving at Hampstead Hill Academy. A couple weekends ago, we held the 16th annual production of
the Hampstead Hill Players, our musical theater group at HHA. The Hampstead Hill Players are renowned for producing
entertaining, high quality shows that are fun for the whole family. This year’s production of Seussical Jr., provided an
escape from our hectic world to the world of a mash-up of beloved children’s stories. We want to thank everyone who
worked incredibly hard throughout the fall and winter to prepare for the performances.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH CELEBRATION Special thanks to Ms. Bailey and Ms. Luthers
for their leadership in the Black History
Last month, HHA introduced its premiere Black History celebration! Huge thanks goes out to all Month Celebration
those involved, including our Black History Month working party, school substitutes, staff and
students who participated in our door decorating contest and the Family Academic Night
planning throughout the month. Special thanks are due to Kim Rice and Alyssa Davis for their
advocacy and engagement throughout this process. Also, thank you to everyone who attended
the celebrations. It’s been incredible to see not only staff and students but also school
partners, neighbors and friends from our community at these events. The theme of this year’s
Family Academic Night was, “Black Wall Street: Embracing the Richness of Black Culture.” In
the early 1900s “Black Wall Street” was located in the Greenwood district of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Greenwood was home to many African Americans due to residency laws and restrictions on
where black residents could shop, work, and go to school. There were at least 600 businesses
in Greenwood owned and operated by African Americans. Greenwood had its own public
school system with middle schools that taught Latin, chemistry and physics, two newspapers, a
public library serving 11,000 black residents, 21 restaurants, 30 grocery stores and two movie
theatres. Tragically, all of that came to an end on June 1, 1921 due to violence against the city
that led to a wide spread fire that burned through the entire town. Hundreds of residents were
mortally wounded. Although the town attempted to rebuild, it was never the same. Our first
annual black history event turned that tragedy into triumph by honoring the town and
residents of Greenwood! Black History Month 2020 is already being planned. Check in with
Ms. Luthers or Ms. Bailey for updates.

PARENT SURVEYS MEAN TEACHER RAISES

Did you know that your answers on the parent survey can make the difference between your child’s teacher getting a raise next year or not? There
are 14 specific questions on the City School Parent survey that must be answered “agree” or “strongly agree” if you want to support your child’s
teacher. We very much hope you will support teachers by filling out one survey per family. In order for HHA teachers to have the best chance to
receive their pay raise next year, please complete a survey. The 14 questions that matter for teacher pay raises will be detailed on a sample survey
sent along with the actual survey. You can complete the hard copy version of the survey, place it in the provided envelope, seal it, and return it to
Ms. Swann or you can complete the survey online. You will receive a detailed letter along with the survey this week. Thank you!

PREK

Ms. Klenk and Ms. Kaminaris – Students are learning about Dr. Seuss and are excited to celebrate his birthday. They are also learning the numbers
1-10 in math. In February, they celebrated Black History Month, Valentine's Day and the 100th day of school! They also enjoyed a trip to Goucher
College to see the musical Pete the Cat. As a reminder, please continue to send your child to school with a warm coat each day and make sure any
winter accessories (hats, gloves, scarves) are marked with your student's name. Many students are in need of a new set of "extra clothing" in case
of accidents. Please check to make sure your student always has an extra set of school-appropriate clothing with his/her name on it. Thank you for
all of your support with your child’s school life.

KINDERGARTEN

Ms. Douglas, Ms. Maciel and Ms. Wallis - Kindergarten staff would like to thank all of the parents and families that supported the 100th day of
school. All of the projects were incredibly creative! It was a successful day filled with fun activities, such as counting 100 ice cream scoops, drawing
how we’d look at 100 years old and making 100 day crowns. This month, students will continue to read and practice fluency. Please remember to
read with your child each night and sign their homework chart. While reading with your child, stop and ask comprehension questions, or try
reading to him/her as they follow along with their finger. In math, students are working on addition with teen numbers, twenties and number
bonds. Please continue to work with your child on tying their shoes. We are looking forward to spring and warm weather!

GRADE 1

Ms. Bierley, Ms. Clary and Ms. Smith – During this quarter of Core
Knowledge, students are comparing and contrasting fairy tales and
folktales from around the world. The students had a fantastic time on
their trip to the Maryland Science Center. The students engaged in
hands-on activities and enjoyed a planetarium show to understand
the world around them. The 1st grade team would like to thank the
parent chaperones for their support on this trip. The students are
now looking forward to the field trip to the Towson Kraushaar
Auditorium to see a production of Chocolate Milk, Por Favor on
Tuesday, March 12th. The 1st grade team would also like to thank
Mrs. Durkin for organizing this trip and the HHA PTO for their help in
making this trip possible. Permission slips have been sent home.

1st grade students had a fun time learning on a field trip to the
Maryland Science Center

GRADE 2

Ms. Bonner, Ms. LaBella and Ms. Weber - The students truly enjoyed their trip to The Franklin Institute. The 2nd grade team would like to thank the
HHA PTO for helping to sponsor this trip. In reading, students have been working on fluency and comprehension skills. They are getting faster and
more accurate in reading every day. Please continue to have your child practice reading every night. In language, students are beginning to write
paragraphs along with editing for capitals, punctuation, spelling, indentation and clarity. In math, they are getting faster and more accurate with
math facts. They are using previously learned strategies to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems. Ask your student to do
some mental math so they can show off their skills. Please continue to check your child’s folder.

GRADE 3

Reading – Ms. Kaplan: Students are working on their reading comprehension
and fluency. While reading with your child at home, be sure to discuss important
story elements such as: main characters, setting, plot, problem and solution.
Coach class is held every Tuesday morning at 7:30 am and all are welcome to
attend. Please reach out to Ms. Kaplan at [email protected] if you have
any questions or concerns.

Language/Social Studies – Ms. Sparwasser: Students continue to develop clear
paragraphs and discuss relevant and non-relevant information. In science, they
have begun Investigation 1 all about Seeds. Students have dissected and
observed all kinds of fruits such as seeded grapes, grape tomatoes, lemons, star
fruit, apples and green beans. Students finished social studies with making trail
mix combinations to practice budgeting.

Math - Ms. Knudsen: Students are learning how to convert units of 3rd grade students gather to conduct science
measurements and are expanding their knowledge of fractions in order to add experiments
and simplify fractions. Please continue to work on multiplication and division
fact fluency.

GRADE 4

Reading – Ms. Schultz: Some students are reading the text Jane Addams and others are reading The Prince and The Pauper. Every day, students
are reading rigorous text, answering comprehension questions and responding to the text in writing. As always, if there is anything Ms. Schultz can
do to better support your child, please reach out by phone or at [email protected].

Language/Social Studies – Ms. Costello: Students are writing paragraphs explaining
why different advertisements are misleading. In science class, they are learning
about the optimum conditions and range of tolerance for different organisms and
will begin to learn about animal and plant adaptations.

Math – Ms. Aldous: Students will finish geometry and learn about area and
perimeter. They will calculate the area and perimeter of squares, rectangles and
composite figures. They will also calculate the area of a path around a shape, like
the area of a sidewalk around the playground. Next, students will learn about data
analysis. They learn how to display data on a double bar graph or a fraction line
plot. As a reminder, each weekend your student gets optional PARCC practice that
can be turned in for extra credit.

GRADE 5

Reading – Ms. Steinhardt: Students continue to develop their abilities to analyze

fictional and nonfictional texts. During the month of March, they will read texts that

focus on individuals who have made significant contributions to society, despite

facing an overwhelming number of challenges. For example, some students are

reading a fictional story based off of Harriet Tubman's many acts of bravery and 4th grade students work on a science lesson
selflessness before, during and after the Civil War. Other students are reading

nonfictional texts about Temple Grandin's life and her work as a spokesperson for

autism. These topics will encourage students to analyze the character traits and the actions of the main characters presented in the texts. As a

reminder, please check your child's agenda each night to ensure that you are aware of all homework assignments and upcoming events and/or

assessments. Lastly, please check your child's grade report for reading, which is sent home each Friday, so that you are able to monitor your child's

progress.

7

Language/Science – Mr. Small: Students will begin to interpret claims, and determine if the claims are accurate, misleading or false. For example:
one brand of pillow weighs twenty ounces, and another brand of pillow weighs nineteen and a half ounces. It would be a misleading statement to
say the first brand weighs a lot more than the second, since there is only a half-ounce difference. While it is true the first brand weighs more, to say
that it weighs more by a lot is misleading. Students will also work with synonyms, antonyms and identifying parts of reference books, such as an
index, table of contents and glossary. In science, students will explore mixtures and solutions, and what separates them. On March 19th and March
20th, the students will take the Maryland Integrated Science Assessment (MISA). MISA will cover everything they have learned in science this year,
as well as science topics taught in third and fourth grade. Please help your students prepare by asking them about their study guides for weekly
quizzes, as well as quizzing them. Ask them to explain the concepts, or define the vocabulary. After MISA in the last week of March, they will begin
social studies.

Math – Ms. O’Connor: Students are working on Module 4 in Eureka Math. They are learning to multiply and divide both fractions and decimals.
They will begin to work on word problems, create tape diagrams and do unit conversions. Students will then learn how to find the area and volume
of given figures, with both whole number and fractional sides. Students will have the opportunity to design their dream home during this unit.
Students can always practice their math skills on Prodigy or Khan Academy.

GRADE 6

Humanities – Mr. Farber: Students will soon begin Unit 2 of their Springboard curriculum. They just finished their first five-paragraph essay of the
year, which were amazing. Students also were given copies of the novel Bronx Masquerade last week, which will be primarily read and analyzed for
homework. In social studies, students recently completed posters of historically significant African Americans for Black History Month. The posters
are currently hanging on the classroom doorway. Last week, students began the geography and world cultures curriculum, and started learning
about Mesopotamia, the world's earliest civilization.

Math – Ms. Herrera: Students will continue to work on a stock market competition and finish the geometry unit. At the end of month, they will
begin the data analysis unit. They will look at the measures of center, such as mean, median and mode, and the measures of variability, such as
standard deviation.

Science – Ms. Poole: Students have become experts on light and ecosystems. Dissecting the sea lamprey and bony fish was a highlight of the
second unit. Ask your student what organ the sea lamprey is missing and why it doesn’t need that organ. You may be surprised or grossed out by
their answer. Is water food? This is a question students solved by conducting an experiment. Have them explain to you the results. In the next unit,
students will begin to explore chemistry with a focus on the question: How can I smell things from a distance?

GRADE 7

Language Arts – Ms. Locke-Jones: Students are gathering evidence to write their second argumentative essay. Through detailed analysis and
evaluating evidence, students will strengthen their writing skills. Throughout the writing process, students will edit their work to produce their
highest quality work.

Math – Mr. White: Students will finish the Geometry 1A unit and complete the SLO assessment. They will also start the Geometry 1B unit.
Students will work on triangle sum theorem, special angle pairs, volume or irregular shapes and cross sections of three-dimensional shapes.

Science – Ms. Thomas: Students will continue to learn about the human body systems including the respiratory system, the skeletal system and the
nervous system. Upon completion of the unit, students will prepare for their end of unit assessment. Students will then welcome doctoral
candidates in neuroscience from University of Maryland for a day of hands on activities related to the brain and nervous system. By the end of the
month, they will begin the new unit exploring weather.

GRADE 8

Language Arts – Ms. Kosmer: Some students will work on a Civil War research project and then begin to read the The Giver by Lois Lowry.
Students who have presented their Civil Rights research project will begin read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

Algebra 1 – Ms. Luthers: Students will begin the 4th unit. This unit will focus on exponents, radicals and polynomials. In this unit, students will
supplement their Algebra 1 understanding with Pre-Algebra learning to help them be successful. They will work with perfect squares, integer
operations and combining like terms. These are all skills that students can practice and review at home.

Pre-Algebra – Ms. Luthers: Students will continue to extend their understanding of linear equations by exploring and learning about slope,
graphing lines and systems of equations. The will learn the real-world implications of slope and steepness. Try asking your student to compare the
steepness of different types of slopes.

Science – Mr. Cobb: Students will start the physics unit, “How will it move?” During this unit, students will explore various motion devices to
understand concepts in forces and motion. Students will take the Maryland Integrated Science Assessment (MISA) on Tuesday, March 19th and
Wednesday, March 20th. This test will assess the knowledge and skills students have learned in grades 6-8 science. Topics covered on the exam
include earth and space, life and physical sciences. Students will review important concepts prior to the assessment in class and for homework. For
this test, please be sure your student sleeps well the night before and eats breakfast on the test morning.

8th grade students made their favorite family recipe and analyzed the chemistry of their food for their project,
“What makes me, me?”

LEADERS GO PLACES

Leaders Go Places is a program designed to motivate students to achieve rigorous standards. In order to reach level and earn the rewards of the
program, students must reach lofty goals in the classroom, the community and with their behavior. Specifically, students must have a 3.0 GPA, an
80% positive average on Class Dojo, and complete at least two hours of community service. During the second quarter, 72% of our students
reached all three of these goals.

While all schools have an honor roll for academic achievement and a way to LGP members sell snacks to raise money for
measure and reward good behavior, HHA stands alone in its commitment to program supplies
community service. Students are required to complete at least two hours of
service to be recognized in the Leaders Go Places program. Students can reach
higher levels within the program for completing four, five or six hours of service.
With this program in place, most students leave HHA with a head start on their
community service requirement for high school graduation. Baltimore City high
school students must complete 75 hours of community service. Many of our
students complete all of those hours before leaving middle school. Also, our
students develop a sense of community. One of our promises is “To Contribute to
the Common Good.” Our students learn that they can impact the lives of others in
positive ways. Middle school students at HHA completed a total of 1,275 hours of
service during the 2nd quarter. We require students to complete just two hours;
our students completed an average of 4.86 hours of service. Students can reach
Platinum level by completing six hours of service. There is no incentive to
complete more, yet 70 of our students turned in more than six hours. This shows
that students are willing to go beyond the requirement to serve, not because they
will receive rewards in return, but because they believe that performing the
service is the right thing to do and that they are making a difference.

Students have done a variety of things that help our community. They tutor younger students after school, come to HHA community events to
assist with the set up or sell snacks as a fundraiser. They also write cards and letters of encouragement to children in the hospital. Students have
visited senior assisted living homes, cleaned up trash in Patterson Park, and written letters to state legislators in support of more funding for public
education. They are learning the power of community service and to contribute to the common good is a pillar of the LGP program.

All lost and found items are held for one week only.

Items marked with the student’s name will be returned to the student.
Please come into school as soon as possible to check for any lost items.

Please make sure all of your child’s belongings
are marked with his/her name.

are not on the library rotation from the resource schedule. Students can also check out books right before school starts and at dismissal. Some
highlights over the past month: Grade PreK-4 students celebrated Black History month by enjoying books about famous black people. Ask them
about Henry's Freedom Box, Athena Gibson, Louis Armstrong, Jackie Robinson, Rosa Parks or Audrey Faye Hendricks.

EVERY HHA STUDENT HAS AN AGENDA FILLED WITH INFORMATION ON A VARIETY OF SUBJECTS.
PLEASE CHECK YOUR CHILD’S AGENDA DAILY.

FOOD FOR LIFE

Ms. Demas: PreK and kindergarten students are learning proper hand washing, exploring taste buds, and beginning to taste and describe a
rainbow of delicious, nutritious whole foods. Grade 1 students are learning how to classify foods into the 5 food groups on MyPlate and preparing
foods from each group. Grade 3 students are learning about seasoning with herbs and spices, and using measuring spoons to make spice mixtures
from around the world. They are also inventing their own spice mix recipes for the HHA cookbook. Grade 5 and 7 students have been inventing
tasty pasta and sandwiches and writing sandwich recipes for the HHA cookbook. Try this pasta recipe below and let us know what you think.

A la Penne Pasta

Created by: Jennifer Rosas, Carrie Snowden, Samuel Sosa,
Jacqueline Roldan

Ingredients
½ box penne pasta
1 carrot
2 tomatoes
1 head of broccoli
6 mushrooms
1 tsp basil leaves
¼ tsp garlic powder
Olive oil
½ a jar of tomato sauce
⅓ cup mozzarella cheese (diced or fresh mozzarella pearls)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper

Directions

Cook penne pasta for 10 minutes. Peel the whole carrot

into long, thin strips (for garnish). Cut broccoli into pieces. Students display the dish they created, A la Penne Pasta
Dice 2 tomatoes. Slice 6 mushrooms/season with garlic

powder. Put oil in a frying pan, enough to lightly cover the bottom, and wait till it heats up on medium heat. Add the broccoli, tomatoes,

mushrooms and basil leaves, and sauté. Heat the tomato sauce in a small pan on low heat, stir. Season the pasta with salt, pepper. Mix with warm

tomato sauce. Serve the vegetables on the pasta and garnish with the carrot strips and mozzarella chunks (make a flower from one mozzarella ball

and five carrot strips).

NATURE EXPLORATION

Ms. Riorda: Students have been very active in-spite of the crazy weather
patterns. The youngest students have been learning about animal
adaptations and have had opportunities to role play being hibernating
dormice curled up in their cubbies. Grade 2 students have just finished the
unit on the importance of pollination, and grade 4 students succeeded in the
animal adaptations unit. This unit involved many outdoor games to solidify
the concepts students have been learning. Grade 6 students are
investigating weather patterns and exploring the water cycle and cloud
formations, and grade 8 students completed a unit on natural selection and
the evolution of traits in different animals. As the weather changes and the
ground gets muddy, be sure to send your child to school dressed for the
weather.

ENRICHMENT NEWS

Ms. Guitian and Ms. Burt: This past week, parents of GAL or Talent

Development students received the results of the mid-year MAP

assessments. Please contact Mrs. Guitian at [email protected] if

you have any questions about the results. One excellent way to support

reading growth is to encourage your child to read independently each night

at their current Lexile level (found on the individual goal setting sheet). For Exploring nature in the snow

helpful information about using Lexiles to support reading growth, and to

find the right books for your child, visit the following website: https://lexile.com/.

If your child has access to technology at home, encourage them to complete Dreambox math lessons. Personalized assignments on Dreambox

have been updated to reflect your child’s mid-year MAP growth score. GAL and talent development students are welcome to the enrichment room

to work on Dreambox or other technology based learning programs on Thursdays after school until 3:45 pm. Please contact Mrs. Guitian if you

need login information or would like your child to work after school on Thursdays.

SPECIAL EDUCATION

Ms. Shaffer: March is Developmental Disabilities Awareness month. In 1987, President
Ronald Regan declared March as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. March is our
special chance to join together to advance our mission to the wider world.

ESOL DEPARTMENT NEWS

Ms. Bailin, Ms. Gonzalez, Ms. Hicks and Mr. LaBarr: PreK and kindergarten students are completing the Hello Sunshine unit. Weather words,
seasons, seasonally appropriate activities and clothing are the focus of this unit along with songs, dances, games, books, writing and drawing. Ask
your child about their favorite season. Grade 1 students are beginning a new unit Everyone Needs a Home. In this unit, students will learn about
children and the place they call home. Take some time to talk to your child about one thing that makes their homes a special place. Grade 2
students continue to learn about the water cycle. The children know that rain and snow are fun and very important. The rain we play in today can
become clouds, lakes and oceans. It is used over and over again. Grade 3 students are exploring different neighborhoods and learning the names
of different types of businesses and public places, and grade 4 students are learning about Native American cultures by reading stories which
illustrate what types of food they ate and homes they built. Grade 5 students are learning about how our bodies work through exercise and
movement. Students will apply what they learn about classifying when reading a science article, and will briefly learn about the musculoskeletal
system.

CLUB/ACTIVITIES NEWS

As a reminder, students will not be permitted to join two clubs that meet on the same day.

BUILDERS CLUB

In February, the Builders Club invited residents from Future Care to see the final dress rehearsal of Seussical, Jr. The residents really enjoyed seeing
the show and the members who were in the show were very excited to perform for the residents. In March, club members will sponsor a Band-Aid
drive to benefit University of Maryland Hospital. Bring any and all colored or character Band-aids to your homeroom teacher. A fun Band-aid can
make a difficult day or procedure better for a child who is spending an extended time in the hospital.

STEAM

Kindergarten students are exploring geometry through the creation of their own board games, and grade 1 students have been studying the life
cycle of plants. They have been tracking growth progress of their radish and cilantro plants over the last month. As we enter into the last three
weeks of class, students will focus on the life cycle of butterflies. Grade 2 students built bridges out of straws, made baking soda and vinegar
volcanoes erupt, and tested sailboats they built out of modeling clay, paper and toothpicks.

EMERGING SCHOLARS

Grade 2 students are learning about the importance of geometry in architecture by completing engineering challenges. This, along with the
knowledge of creating things to scale, will prepare them to create models of self-designed playgrounds. Grade 3 and 4 students tested “zip-lock
airbags” by using different proportions of baking soda and vinegar to inflate them. Grade 4 students are also learning about the impact of
vacuums, the lifespan of stars and black holes.

AUDUBON GREEN LEADERS

Audubon Green Leaders led a spring recruitment presentation at the LGP circle. Students
talked about how they learn about climate change through fun games in the park and
work as a team to take action to create a healthy environment for all living things. They
also showed a video that demonstrated the unjust impacts of climate change on
communities of color and the ways youth can take action. This month, students also met
the Patterson Park Audubon Center’s resident state turtle, the Diamondback Terrapin. If
your student would like to join Audubon Green Leaders, they should submit their
application, as soon as possible before March 5th. Students who are in Green Leaders can
earn up to two service-learning hours each meeting and participate in community
projects to raise awareness around climate change.

DIVERSITY CLUB

Students will continue to meet every other Wednesday for the remainder of the year.

You can look forward to hearing announcements and seeing posters for Women's History

Month, Celebrate Diversity Month and Asian Heritage Month.

THE BROWNIES

The Brownies had a busy month! They were VIPs at the First
Lego League Robotics competition thanks to Melissa Sandlin.
They worked on earning their dancer badge, collected needed
items for BARCS, developed playground safety rules for HHA and
made items for the B3 auction to support the PTO. If you have a
special talent you would like to share to help the Girl Scouts
develop their leadership skills, please contact Jill at

FAMILY INFORMATION

THE COUNTDOWN CONTINUES

 61% of the school year is done
 109 of our 180 student days are completed
 There are approximately 34 school days left until our 3rd – 8th grade

students take the PARCC test in reading and math beginning
Wednesday, April 24th.

IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER

 Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career for grades 3 to 8 - April 24 – May 31, 2019
 Report Cards – 4/11 (3rd Quarter), Last Day of School (4th Quarter)

Please put these dates on your calendar and be sure NOT to plan activities outside of school on test days!
Remember, scores on the tests help decide whether students move on to the next grade.

What Does the PARCC Look Like for Your Child?

Spend some time learning what is expected of your child by the Maryland State
Department of Education at

http://marylandpublicschools.org/programs/pages/testing/parcc/index.aspx

KNOW THE NO’S

 No gum at school. It is distracting and prevents students from reading aloud clearly.
 No smoking in or around school property. This is against the law on school property.
 No double parking at drop-off and pickup. This creates a dangerous situation and you could get a $252 ticket.
 No crossing in the middle of the street. Cross your child at the corner. Do not encourage your child to get to school by

crossing in the middle of the street! This can be extremely dangerous for your child.
 Please remind your child, especially older children, that ball playing is not allowed in front of the school or on the blacktop

during school arrival and dismissal times. Also, ask them to be mindful of smaller children to avoid accidentally bumping
into them.

GREENING INITIATIVE

Parents, are you curious about HHA's greening initiatives and sustainability practices? Are you interested in helping our fabulous school apply for
Maryland Green School status next year? If this sounds like the type of project that appeals to your green side, we can use your help and expertise.
Melissa Riorda, our Nature Exploration teacher, is in the process of forming a committee. You can contact her directly at [email protected].

HEALTHY SNACK CONTEST

Does your child like to draw? Does your family have a favorite healthy snack? Look for info to be sent home from the Wellness Committee about a
contest to make a drawing about a healthy snack. Winning drawings will turn into a refrigerator magnet for HHA families. Student drawings will be
due to homeroom teachers by March 25th. Five winners will be announced on the morning announcements. Stay tuned.

NEWS FROM THE WELLNESS COMMITTEE

The HHA Wellness Committee topic of the month of March will be the Benefits of Eating
Breakfast. To call attention to the importance of breakfast, morning announcements about this
topic will be made, there will be a write up in the HHA magazine and a display on the Wellness
bulletin board on the 1st floor. Please stop by and take a look. Our school will celebrate National
School Breakfast week on March 4-8. Studies show that if you eat breakfast, you will eat more
fruits and veggies throughout the day. Students who eat breakfast have significantly higher
scores in spelling, reading and math. Eating breakfast regularly has been linked with greater
intakes of fiber, calcium, iron, vitamin C and other vitamins and minerals and lower intake of fat, cholesterol and sodium. Here is the basic formula
for breakfast - Pair carbs with proteins. The carbs give your body energy to get started and gives your brain the fuel it needs to take on the day.
Protein gives you staying power and helps you feel full until your next meal. Here are a few examples of a healthy breakfast:

 Whole grain cereals or bread for carbs  Fresh fruit or veggies, again for the carbs
 Low-fat milk, yogurt or cottage cheese for protein  Nuts or legumes for even more protein

You can look up and read more about this topic on the Journal of The American Medical Association and on Webmd.com.

SPIRIT OF KINDNESS CAMPAIGN

The Open Doors Club wrapped up another successful schoolwide Random Acts of Kindness Campaign thanks to the generosity of the HHA
community. Open Doors members assembled and distributed over 800 Kindness Grams on Friday, February 22nd. The weather hampered some of
the ‘Dress-Out Days’ fun, but the three days raised funds for some very important causes. Charity Day brought in $255, and that money was
divided among 6 different local non-profit organizations based on the colors/charities the students were representing. The breakdown, including
the beneficiaries and information links about the organizations are below:

 Support Our Troops: $25 Beneficiary: Angels Supporting your Troops 410-284-5275

 Domestic Violence: $25 Beneficiary: House of Ruth www.Hruth.org

 HIV/AIDS Awareness: $35 Beneficiary: AIDS Action B’more www.aidsactionbaltimore.org

 Breast Cancer: $55 Beneficiary: Hope Lodge www.Cancer.org

 Suicide Prevention: $55 Beneficiary: Unlocke the Light www.Unlockethelight.com

 Child Abuse Prevention: $60 Beneficiary: Child Abuse Center www.Bcaci.org

The other two days, Love Wins Out and Rainbow Day, raised just over $400 which helped cover the costs of supplies for the Random Acts of
Kindness recognition packets and will help with expenses for our next middle grades event: Day of Silence and HHA’s Got Talent which will be held
on Thursday, April 11th. On behalf of Open Doors Rainbow Alliance, we thank everyone who contributed to our 4th annual Random Acts of Kindness
Campaign. We hope you carry the spirit of kindness throughout the remaining days of 2019. Mr. Plunk, Ms. Poole, Ms. Durkin, co-advisors

Students dress up for Rainbow Day and a middle school student is busy making kindness packets

Uniform Items - If your child borrowed a uniform item from school due to an accident or otherwise, please send it back as

soon as possible. We need those items to be available for other students that may need a change of clothes.
We also are accepting gently worn uniform pieces only. Please bring the items to the office.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE

HHA is serious about attendance. Our talented staff cannot teach unless students attend school. There is a district-wide focus on student
attendance. Again this year, there will be mandatory hearings at school headquarters for the parents of students with poor attendance. Each

month the newsletter will include this chart so students and parents can review attendance averages.

Congratulations to the 7th Grade Team for having the highest attendance average for February.
The students in this grade level will have a PTO sponsored pizza party.

UPDATE FROM DISTRICT 46 REPRESENTATIVES

Friends & Neighbors – The 2019 Legislative Session began in January and the days are already moving quickly. We want to provide a quick update
after the Governor’s budget was released last month. A few highlights regarding education funding are below:

 Increasing funding to P-Tech programs, like the one at New Era Academy, by $300,000 to expand to an additional three schools across
the State

 An $11 million formula enhancement to public school districts losing enrollment and negatively impacted by the current funding formula
(without this funding Baltimore City Public Schools would have seen a net negative allocation from the State)

 Allowing 100% of interest paid on student loans to be tax deductible, a much needed relief to young adults struggling to keep up with
student loan payments

While those are positive aspects of the budget, there is also a
glaring omission of $125 million from the increase in funding to
Maryland’s public schools compared to the recommendations of
the Kirwan Commission. The current budget hole for Maryland’s
schools, including those schools in Baltimore City, must be
addressed and will be a top priority for us moving forward. We are
grateful to everyone who came out to our annual Legislative Town
Hall this past Saturday at the National Federation of the Blind. It
was an informative discussion and a pleasure to answer your
questions about the General Assembly's work, as well as what lies
ahead. We also encourage you to visit Annapolis and see the work
of the General Assembly in-person. Visits from constituents
throughout the 90 day session, remains a highlight of our weeks,
and your advocacy makes an enormous impact. Please let us know
if you would like a visit and stay in touch through our respective
state emails below:

Community Yoga Night
at

Hampstead Hill Elementary

Hosted by Namaste With Natalie - Natalie Nelson

Where: Hampstead Hill Elementary gymnasium
500 S Linwood Ave
Date: Baltimore, Maryland
Time: Every Wednesday from March 27th to May 1st (Except for 4/17 - SPRING BREAK)

6 pm - 7 pm

Price: Donation suggestion of $5/family

Please join us for a mid-week relaxing and rejuvenating family yoga class. Open to the community - bring your kids,
family members and friends for an hour of relaxation, stretching and reconnecting with yourself. ANYONE can do
Yoga! If you are new to yoga do not worry, this gentle class is all about the basics, deep breathing, moving your body
and having FUN!

Please bring a yoga mat if you have one. There will be some available to borrow on a first come first
serve basis.

Natalie started practicing yoga 8 years ago when she took a super hot bikram yoga class in the middle of winter. Since
then she traveled to South India where she received her 200 hour yoga teacher training certification in the traditional
Hatha style of Yoga. She favors holding asanas (poses) for longer periods
of time to receive the benefits of deep stretching and muscle stabilization and likes to teach body scanning
meditation as a means to reconnect the mind and body. Her focus is on sharing all the beautiful benefits of yoga
with anyone that is interested! Yoga is more than fancy headstand poses. Here are some of the amazing benefits
of Yoga:

 Help manage stress  weight reduction
 increased flexibility  cardio and circulatory health
 increased muscle strength and tone  improved athletic performance
 improved respiration, energy and vitality  protection from injury
 maintaining a balanced metabolism
