Hamilton Crossing Elementary School

What a great job everyone did on the Kingdom Quest this month. Everyone who participated earned points for themselves and their kingdom! We had some amazing artwork and essays about red ribbon week. It was so difficult to pick between everyone. So, we decided to take three winners from grades Kindergarten - 2nd, and three winners from 3rd - 5th. All winners will receive dojo points and a gift certificate to CiCi's Pizza!

Our top three Kindergarten - 2nd grade winners are:
Rylynn Mulkey, Barry Shinall, Sophia Malatia

Our top three 3rd - 5th grade winners are:
Ayvi Tuggles, Ryker Yarbrough and Adley Peschel

What an AMAZING Red Ribbon Week we had! 🎀❤️ From rocking our red outfits on Monday 👕 to transforming into our favorite book characters today 📚✨, our incredible students showed they understand that "Life is a Puzzle..." and they're committed to "Solving it Drug Free!" 🧩💪 Thank you to all who participated! 💕 🌟

We are so proud of our HCES students who represented us at the Bartow County Honor Chorus today! 🎶 They worked incredibly hard and sang beautifully—what an outstanding job showcasing their talent and dedication! 💙💛 A huge thank you to Ms. Crossan for preparing and supporting our singers every step of the way! 🙌
