With the money raised during the 2008-2009 year these purchases were made for the school and the children:
-
4 In-focus projectors and presentation stands
-
Smart board plus installation and wiring and projector for the Science lab
-
5 mimios for use with white boards purchased by HSA
-
Projector screen for the All Purpose Room.
-
Co-sponsorship (with Hampton Woman’s Club) of Young Audiences
Proceeds to support these purchases come from two main fundraisers: Comedy Night and a partnership with Ernie and Dom’s. Every other month throughout the year Ernie and Dom’s supports the school by having a “Hampton Day”. On these days they donate 20% of their proceeds. The Comedy Night, usually held in early spring, is a great fundraiser and an evening filled with fun, food, and prizes. In addition to these events, “movies in the park” was added during 2009.
