Enough”
Word from our Principal
Greetings!

nurturing staff to work with your
children. The staff strives

children are getting all the
attention and work they need.

Hiseville Student News
To get students excited about writing
and to help them identify just one of the
many needs for writing as well as
assisting with obtaining items for fall
festival auction; teachers at Hiseville
Elementary created an on-demand
writing assignment that asked their
students to pick one celebrity, whom
they have never met in person and write
them a letter. Students have been writing
to their heroes, favorite athletes and
movie stars from all over the world.
Sixth grade students then researched and
located address of the celebrities and
mailed the actual letters. 3 students have
already heard back from their person and
were sent an autographed picture, license
plates and other items. Students were
astonished and overjoyed at the
responses. Students that have already
received items are Kristina Byrd from
Country Singer Josh Turner; Katie
Blakley from Patrick Dempsey; Karen
Crist from Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
More items are continuing to roll in. The
autographed items will be auctioned off
at Hiseville Elementary’s Fall Festival
that will be held on Friday, November
13, 2009 from 5-8 pm. Proceeds from
Fall Festival will be used to purchase
Smartboards and Projectors for every
classroom. Just another great thing that
is going on here at Hiseville Elementary!
