Happy National Assistant Principal Week to the best AP around! Thank you, Mrs. Henson, for all that you do!
Spring has sprung! We hope all our students have a safe and fun spring break! Students will return to school April 21.
Another incredible field day is in the books! Thank you to Mrs. Pond for creating and organizing our day, we are so lucky to have her at HHA! Thank you to all our parents for coming and cheering on all the chameleons. A special shout out to the Goose Creek High School Students who volunteered and helped with clean up. We hope everyone has a great Spring Break!
Today at HHA, we celebrated the Month of the Military Child with the Cadets from Goose Creek High School JROTC! These Cadets delivered an outstanding demonstration of Basic Drill and Ceremony (D&C) in honor of our military families.
Some kindergarten students had the unique opportunity to learn essential skills, including how to properly form up, stand at attention, dress right, and cover down. They also practiced basic stationary movements like right and left face. It was inspiring to see their enthusiasm and commitment!
As a special treat, students enjoyed an exhilarating individual exhibition of rifle spinning!
Tomorrow morning, all of our chameleons will be able to watch the JROTC Cadets on our morning news show! Thank you, Goose Creek High School JROTC!
Calling the class at 2025! Our grad walk will be on Friday May 16th at 8:15am. We can't wait to celebrate with our HHA alumni!
Yesterday our 5th graders attended The Magic Flute. The Magic Flute is an opera written by Mozart. Our chameleons really enjoyed the show!
Our Chameleon Structure has arrived!! Mr. Doster dropped him off today after working diligently since we used the plasma cutter and cut out all our hands last spring. Parents we hope you can take a moment to admire him before attending field day on Friday. All HHA alum please feel free to stop by one afternoon, after dismissal, and check him out!
Last week author Hannah E. Salters visited HHA! Each grade level visited with Ms. Salters who shared her latest story Sonny in Paris and also the creative process she uses to bring her ideas to life. Hannah is a passionate educator and author, with a love for traveling that's as vast as her imagination. Her journeys have taken her to the enchanting city of Paris, inspiring her delightful book, Sonny in Paris. Hannah's experiences and knowledge as an educator shine through her writing, making her stories both engaging and educational. Thank you Hannah!
NIWC (Naval Information Wartime Center) STEM Outreach came to share a STEM activity with our students this week. K-5 students worked with volunteers to build a balloon car. Students learned about problem solving and engineering. It was a create way to integrate our standards and the engineering career field! Thank you NIWC
Last week, Jeff Jordan worked with our 2nd graders, integrating theater skills to enhance their writing. He helped students express feeling and mood through their words and used sound techniques to reinforce the use of quotation marks. We are so lucky to have such an amazing artist in residence!
Our amazing AIMS Players had a fantastic day at the South Carolina Theatre Association’s Theatre for Youth Festival! They participated in both individual and group adjudications and wowed the judges—Hip Hop Shakespeare received a Superior rating!
The fun didn’t stop there—students enjoyed an afternoon full of creativity with a puppet performance and hands-on workshops in puppeteering, Shakespeare, and stage makeup. We’re so proud of these talented young artists for their hard work and fearless expression on and off the stage!
5th grader Ava Wenrich's art piece was selected to be displayed at the Berkeley County Court House. Way to go Ava, we are so proud of you!
We had another awesome PD after school today! Mrs. Irimescu led the faculty in a watercolor activity that they can use in their classroom. And Mrs. Power shared an activity for teachers to complete to learn more about math vocabulary across grade levels.
AIMS Dance Company (ADC) recently participated in the BCSD 2nd annual Day of Dance. They attended a variety of technique classes and performed 2 dances on Saturday. We are so proud of our HHA dancers!
An Evening in the Arts was a resounding success last night, showcasing the incredible talents of our students from the Art Chameleons and the Chameleon Choraleers. From incredible songs to stunning visual art displays, the event celebrated creativity and hard work. We are proud of our young artists and grateful to everyone who attended and supported our school community!
We are hiring for the 2025/2026 school year! We are looking for a 1st and a 5th grade ELA teacher to join our amazing team.
Congratulations to our STEAM Night prize winners! We are so proud of everyone's estimation skills. Thank you to all our parents who filled out the School Climate Survey. What a great night!
The Kinder Chameleons had the pleasure of working with Engaging Creative Minds (ECM) artist, Jordan Giancursio. She taught each class a different ballet dance. We learned ballet vocabulary as well as the beginning, middle and end of a ballet dance. The ballet dance was integrated with our fairytale unit. We learned about the beginning, middle and end of a fairytale and that there are important elements that work together to create a fairytale! Fairytales begin with ”Once upon a time", they have magic in them, they take place in a forest or a castle, the number three is special, they have good vs not so good and they end with happily ever after! We were able to wow our parents with a performance at the end of the week! We had a great time working with Ms. Jordan!!
We had the best time at STEAM Night last night. Thank you to all our teachers for hosting incredible sessions and thank you to all our families who joined us. We hope everyone has as much fun as we did!
