HSS Family Newsletter

Thank you all for coming in for parent/teacher conferences. It was nice to see so many parents and guardians in the school for conferences as well as for Fitness Night.

We have had a few recent celebrations of art and culture. The third grade classrooms created their versions of Van Gogh's Starry Night and they are all magnificent. Ms. Spaulding's class created the one pictured here. We also had four students attend the NH Honors Choir (See more information in the News section).

And last, the staff wanted me to express their huge appreciation for all of the delicious soups and breads in March. It was wonderful to have everyone happily eating lunch together. Thank you,

Leah Wheelan, Principal

Our music teacher, Ms Beasley, reported that there were 100 students from 33 different districts all over the state of NH and it was a wonderful experience for our Leb kids! Seven total students from Lebanon represented our schools beautifully. They were so focused and professional while still having a lot of fun. A great day over all!

Fourth graders, Diya, Yuki, Kirsten, and Grace represented HSS at the Honors Choir

As the warmer weather approaches and the kids are getting older and their bodies are changing, I wanted to reach out and seek your help in teaching kids healthy self- care habits.

Good personal hygiene plays a critical role in promoting a positive self-image and reinforces healthy habits. It is the foundation of good health and well being. We encourage these good hygiene strategies at school and encourage you to do the same at home.

The following are examples of good DAILY, hygiene practices:

• Shower or bathe everyday or every other day.

• Wash hands ALWAYS after using the restroom, before and after eating, playing outdoors or touching animals.

• Wash hair daily or every other day.

• Use deodorant or antiperspirant at least once a day. There are some chemical free options if the use of aluminum products is a concern.

• Brush teeth twice a day and, preferably, floss daily.

• Wear clean/unsoiled clothes every day.

• Wear clean socks and underwear every day.

• Maintain your general health through exercise, plenty of good rest and nutrition.

Take good care,

Holly Maher, RN
