Haddam Killingworth Middle School

Congratulations to the HKHS Girls' Field Hockey Team from all of us at HKMS for winning the Class S Championship this afternoon! Awesome job, girls!

Region 17 and locally owned Go Mini's Storage have partnered to offer the Haddam Killingworth Community an opportunity to help those communities devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Portable storage units (PODS) are placed at the Middle School and High School. The goal is to fill the units with items that can assist and provide comfort for the people in these hard hit communities. When the units are full, they are brought to a Red Cross warehouse for distribution. If you are able, please lend a hand. It is a long-long recovery period for many of these towns and their residents, and any help we provide makes a difference. Thank you so much for your help.

Items needed for Hurricane Sandy victims:
Jackets/Coats
Hats
Socks
Underwear (new)
Sweaters (good shape and clean)
Sweatshirts (good shape and clean)
Pants (good shape and clean)
Baby/Infant supplies (diapers, wipes, formula)
Mops
Sponges
Rubber Gloves
Batteries
Toiletries (shampoo, soap, toothpaste/tooth brush)
Towels (good shape and clean)
Trash Bags
Water
Blankets (new)

The Middle School is hosting the second Community Window Walk during the school day this Friday, November 9 from 9:00 to 11:00 AM.

What is a window walk? This is your opportunity (or that of a relative or neighbor) to tour our building and observe classes when school is in session. We will start the session in the Library Media Center at 9:00 AM. A free school lunch is on the agenda! Please register by calling our main office at 860-663-1241 so we can be prepared.

Please help us help others. Suggested items lists are posted in home rooms and in Mr. English's newsletter.
Thank you so much!

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM SUPERINTENDENT THIERY:

Parents,Guardians and Community Members,

Regional School District 17 will be closed on Monday 10/29 and Tuesday 10/30. Given the fact that all the forecast models and data are predicting that the peak of the very strong storm will be from noon tomorrow through Tuesday morning we felt it was best that we make this decision early to allow you to make the plans that you will need to keep your families safe. We will continue to update you as best we can through out the storm period. I hope you all find a safe, dry and warm place to wait out the storm.
Howard

Best Regards

Howard
