On Monday, May 21st, at the Hippodrome Theater surrounded by family, friends and
colleagues, Principal Hornbeck was honored as one of five recipients of the Heart of the School
Award. This award is given by The Fund for Educational Excellence. To receive this honor,
recipients are nominated by members of the school community. Interviews are conducted to
confirm that the nominated principal uses their leadership skills to create a school where:

 Students, staff, parents and the community feel valued, invited, and safe
 There are high expectations for student achievement and success
 Student achievement is improving
 Students, staff, parents and the community are involved in creating and fostering a shared vision for the school
 Students and staff are provided with effective enrichment and support

This truly describes the character and work ethic of our principal, Matt Hornbeck. Many parents and staff wrote detailing nominations recounting
the effort put forth by Mr. Hornbeck to always maintain a level of excellence at our school. He is truly deserving of this honor. Below are remarks
made by Principal Hornbeck after being introduced by Mrs. Wheatley, an HHA parent. Additionally, there is a link to short video which was played
at the event showing interviews by parents and students and a portion of the normal day of our principal. Please remember to congratulate
Mr. Hornbeck when you see him at school. Video link: https://youtu.be/ssn4MJeoCIs

Principal Hornbeck’s Remarks delivered at the

Heart of the School Award celebration:

“Thank you Mrs. Wheatley. You are a great mom and Alex, Eric,
Robert and Celisse are wonderful kids. How quickly everyone
grows up. I’d like to recognize my family. My wife and the love
of my life, Ginny - Dr. Hornbeck as she is known at Hampden
and Gilmor where she is the school psychologist, my brother
whom I admire and look up to, Mark - Principal Gaither as he is
known at the wonderful Wolfe Street Academy, and my parents,
Becky and David Hornbeck, who have been lanterns in my life as
long as I can remember. I’m especially grateful for my children,
Holly and Tom. Along with my brother, we are all City College
graduates - City Forever. Tom goes to college in August and
Holly is coming home to teach in City Schools. Ginny and I are
so proud of them. I couldn’t do the work without the love and
support of my family. Thank you guys.

To HHA’s talented teachers and staff. Serving and supporting so

many brilliant teachers is the best job I’ll ever have. I know, as

does every principal in this room, about the life changing force a
great teacher brings to the work. Finding and keeping the very Principal Hornbeck pictured with his father, mother, wife and son at

best teachers is the whole game. Together with Laura Doherty the award’s ceremony

and Jon McGill at the Baltimore Curriculum Project, amazing AP’s John Paz and Cassandra Bailey, top performing community schools director

Geri Swann, the power and love behind restorative practices, and great research-based curriculum, you and your colleagues have built a school

that serves a terrifically diverse neighborhood including hundreds of first generation Americans and hundreds of first generation college-bound

students. You make a difference every day in the lives of more than 800 kids. Thank you for your work and your trust. I love you guys.

To the students of HHA who have taught me about hard work and leadership. We have great kids who just want what everyone wants - to be seen,

heard and respected. Two who come to mind are 7th grade student leaders Asiane Phillips and Vivi Kaminaris.

If there is one thing I would wish for every new principal, it would be a mentor to have your back. For me that person was Dr. Muriel Berkeley, and
I am forever grateful. Two veteran teachers who mentored and put up with me in my early years are here tonight. To Kathi Sexton and Patricia
Jones - thank you for your work with thousands of students over the years and for sharing your expertise with me.

We all want the same thing for our children - more and better opportunities. Thanks to everyone in the room for contributing - in whatever way
you do the work - to the common good. And a special shout out to all principals in the room and especially my friend and partner in the work,
Dr. Rhonda Richetta of the great City Springs. Now let’s all advocate as hard as we can to fully fund the Kirwan Commission recommendations so
we can get some stuff done! Thank you and have a great evening!”

LEADERS GO PLACES

Leaders Go Places has had an outstanding year! Now in its 5th year, students are thriving in
the this program. As stated at each Recognition ceremony, being on-level is an ambitious
yet achievable goal. Earning a 3.0 GPA is the same benchmark set by college readiness
standards across the country. Adding behavior expectations along with a community
service requirement makes LGP a truly great measure of personal and academic success.
This year, we have more students reaching level than ever before.

The LGP Student Committee is new this year. A group of ten 8th grade students have spent
time after school planning trips, hosting fundraisers and making LGP a truly student led
program. The LGP Student Committee planned a great 3rd quarter field trip. Students were
allowed to visit one of five different Smithsonian Institutes in Washington, DC. This choice
allowed students to explore their personal interests at places like the Museum of Natural

History, the Air and
Space Museum or the

Afterwards, students went bowling. 187 students out of 242 were on level and

The committee is now preparing next year’s committee. The current student
committee held interviews this week to select the student committee for next
year. Their dedication to HHA and the LGP program is evident. Even as they

LGP field trip LGP. Students are asked to complete at least two hours of community service
per quarter. Our students have gone way beyond that minimal requirement.
They have tutored younger students at HHA, volunteered at animal shelters
and assisted living centers, have made cards for children in the hospital and
served meals to those in need. Through three quarters, they have collectively
completed over 4,235 hours of service, for an average of almost 17.5 hours per
student. Their service is making our community a better place!

LIBRARY

The HHA library has been really busy and fun all year long with library classes filled teaching technology skills including coding, tons of books
checked out, tons of new books purchased, reading in the park and two great book fairs! Thank you to the HHA family of students, parents and
staff who have supported the library to make it a flourishing and active part of our fantastic school! Remember to encourage your children to read
during the summer. Students can read books, magazines, comics, blogs, musical lyrics, newspapers, etc. Also, remember that both print and
online materials provide reading practice for kids. Sign up for the great summer reading contest at the Enoch Pratt library. HHA always has one of
the highest rates of students participating each summer.

NATURE EXPLORATION

Students are in full discovery mode in the park. The youngest students are learning about ecosystems and their food chains and webs, and the
elementary students are studying natural resources and the importance of making decisions to help use our resources in a more sustainable
way. Middle school students are studying biodiversity and are gaining an understanding about just how important it is to work to maintain
biodiversity in every ecosystem. Students will begin terrestrial diversity as they investigate the plants and trees of Patterson Park and then will
move to aquatic diversity and take a close look at organisms that live in the pond. Fishing is part of this unit because it affords students the
opportunity to observe and catalog the different types of fish in the pond.

ENRICHMENT NEWS

Students have had a wonderful and productive year in Enrichment/GAL! All students are finishing the end-of-year MAP tests in reading and math.
GAL students will bring home their completed goal sheets within the next two weeks. Ms. Guitian looks forward to meeting with parents on
Wednesday, June 6th who currently have a child that participates in pullout GAL group. Please contact Ms. Guitian if you have any questions.

ESOL DEPARTMENT NEWS

PreK and kindergarten students are completing the Oink, Quack, Moo unit. They are learning about baby animals, farm animals and life cycles
through songs, books and riddles. They are also working on predicting, sequencing and recalling information from various stories. Grade 1
students are beginning to work on their final writing assessment "Have you ever been lost?" The children love telling where they were lost and
what happened. Students will finish the year with Wings and Things. Grade 2 and 3 students will bring home ESOL paperwork that needs to be
signed and returned to their ESOL teacher for the next school year. Grade 4 and 5 students have begun reading a story called The Lotus Seed.
Students are making predictions and analyzing the story to identify cause and effect. After reading the story, they will practice paraphrasing the
story's main events in their own words. They are also working on improving writing by focusing on grammar. Middle school students are
continuing the What Matters Most unit, and are currently reading a story called Twins. Students are learning skills such as how to make inferences,
as well as how to compare two different texts in order to identify a common theme. Everyone is so proud of the ESOL children. They always come
excited to learn new things! Enjoy your summer! It is has been a privilege working with your child.

SPECIAL EDUCATION

It is summer vacation, and your child is probably happy to spend his or her days lounging and recuperating from the hectic school year. Summer
regression is the loss of academic knowledge gained throughout the school year. Learning loss or the ‘summer slide’ among students over summer
break is a very real problem that teachers often see. Here are several ways for parents to help minimize summer regression: read daily, write often,
plan educational visits, set aside daily learning time, enroll in summer learning program and visit the library! Enjoy your summer break!

The last session of STEAM Club took place on June 1st except for Ms. Thomas' 2nd grade
class, Ms. Alexa's 3rd & 4th grade class and Ms. Burt's kindergarten class. These three
classes will have a make-up day on Thursday, June 7th. Kindergarten students in
Ms. Aldous’ class are reading fairy tales and building objects from the stories, including
spider webs from Little Miss Muffet and towers from Jack and the Beanstalk. Ms. Burt's
kindergarten students have been learning about lines of symmetry. Using lines of
symmetry, they created a "stained glass" art project. After our exploration of various life
cycles, 1st grade students re-enacted the stages of the life cycle of a sunflower. Grade 2
students are learning all about life. They are exploring the mealworm and butterfly life
cycles as well as dissecting owl pellets and planting seeds. Grades 3 and 4 students have
been learning engineering skills as they solve challenges each week in Ms. Schultz and
Ms. Kaplan’s class. They have built balloon cars, paper chains and rescued “Sam the
Worm.” Students are creating amazing structures. They have planned and built bridges
with toothpicks and marshmallows and built towers out of just newspaper and masking
tape. Ms. Alexa’s students have immersed themselves in global climate change
activities, learning about the carbon cycle and ways we can all take action. Check out

monthly to make crafts and share conversation with the residents. The highlight of these visits is
taking the crafts to those who were unable to come to the community room. The club members
were also an important part of the Pennies for Patients campaign. They made posters, put boxes
together, delivered materials to classrooms, worked at 3 different paint afternoons and worked
endless hours at the after school snowball stand. It was a very successful year for the Builders Club,

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.

INFORMATION FROM THE WELLNESS COMMITTEE

June is Sugary Drink Awareness month. The harmful effects of sugary drinks extend beyond weight gain and
obesity. Sugary drinks can cause diabetes, asthma, heart, liver and kidney disease, bone loss, tooth decay and
cancer. People don’t realize that drinking sugary drinks can actually make you dehydrated. How one might ask;
because of the high sugar, sodium and caffeine content in these drinks. Signs of dehydration are being thirsty,
having a dry sticky mouth, tiredness, headaches, dizziness and constipation. So this summer, try drinking water.
To give water some flavor, you can add a piece of lemon, lime, orange, cucumber or a spearmint leaf. The
Institute of Medicine recommends that you drink a large glass of water every morning to wake up your organs.
They also, recommend that men drink 13 cups of water and women drink 9 cups of water. Here is something else
to think about before drinking that sugary drink. A 20 ounce soda usually has about 250 calories which would
take 5 miles of walking to burn off - 10,000 steps to just burn off something that you have drank. Please rethink
your drink.

Staff and students would like to say thank you to
everyone who volunteered during the 2017-2018
school year to make Hampstead Hill Academy one
of the best schools in Baltimore City!

Thank you very much!

LOST AND FOUND ITEMS WILL BE GIVEN TO CHARITY ON
