Thank you to the booster clubs, high school staff, and students who sold Homecoming Tailgate tickets in fundraising efforts to help pay off the debt left on the high school weight room & wrestling room addition. Last Friday the booster clubs served over 500 meals before the homecoming football game. It was a great meal and successful fundraiser raising over $3000 dollars. Thanks again to all those involved in putting the fundraiser on and supporting Hampton-Dumont Schools!
Well, we survived another homecoming week. Thank you to those of you who keep the tee-pee tradition in perspective. This tradition was around before I was ever the Hampton-Dumont High School principal and certainly will be around far after I'm gone baring any serious injuries or accidents. Each homecoming week I get many phone calls from upset people in the community about the tee-peeing. Although I wish I could control high school students actions at times I simply cannot be responsible for over 400 students outside of school. However, I do firmly address vandalism and other actions that are deemed "crossing the line" by high school students. With all this being said, high school students do participate in service-learning projects on homecoming Friday each year. This has become an H-D tradition in which students clean up tee-pee and engage in other projects.
This year each advisory group engaged in projects that varied from visiting local nursing homes and working at the food pantry to painting Dumont City Park picnic tables and moving supplies in the auditorium building. The rain on Friday morning changed some minor projects but did not put a damper on the service that HDHS students and staff were able to complete. The below pictures illustrate some of the work that was done last Friday.
