A Time To Celebrate
In the last 33 days of the school year, as we turn our attention toward summer and next year, it is important to remember to turn back with gratitude on what has brought us to this place. Our school is turning 10-years-old at the end of this school year! I look upon this accomplishment with gratitude for the faculty and staff who have brought us to this place of success and consider the strong shoulders upon which we stand today. I am so excited to celebrate with our community and look toward the next 10 years of our school. What accomplishments will we be celebrating at that time?
Please see below as we celebrate our 10-days of CNH this week and next.
Happy Week 34, everyone!
–Dr. Shyla.

CNH Yearbook Information!
Hello, Families,
The 2018-2019 Yearbook is now on sale! This year marks the 10 year anniversary of City Neighbors Hamilton and this exciting milestone will be celebrated throughout the yearbook. The yearbook highlights the amazing work in classrooms, fun field work, performances like Open Mic and Arts Showcase, Family Arts Night, Buddy Days, the smiling faces of our community.
Each year we hold a contest for the yearbook cover design. This year we had a record number of cover design submissions (14!) ranging from students in 3rd grade to 8th grade. This year, Neve Monaghan’s bright colorful design will decorate the front of the yearbook. To celebrate our 10 year anniversary, we held a second contest for a special logo. Teagan McCabe’s logo will also be featured in the yearbook.
The yearbooks are priced at $20.
