HCSS 1st Annual Grantparent's Night
On October the 2 nd , 2009 HCSS's first annual grandparent's night has brought grandparents and their family together at school cafeteria. It was a huge success. Not only were there many grandparents present, but also parents, and other family members. There were lots of food, drinks, music and dance. We would like to thank all of our grandparents, parents, teachers and students who made this night a successful activity for everybody.

Field Trip to Turkish Balkan Festival in New York
It was a cold and drizzly morning and the bus pulled out at 7:35 AM sharp. On our way to the Big Apple, we watched Mr. Yaman's video on a Turkey as well as Monster's Inc. thanks to the Charbonneau Family.  Once we got closer to New York, you could feel the excitement, especially as we crossed the Whitestone Bridge into Queens!  We even got to see Citi Field (Home of the NY Mets) from afar. We were a little nervous once we arrived, everything was rainy and even the vendors seemed a little slowed down by the rain. However, the day turned around quickly after getting some good Turkish food in our bellies (Doner's and Gazos were great!).  A Turkish military band came on first after the greetings and then Turkish Folk dancers; they were beautiful.  We rounded out the day shopping, interacting with the vendors and enjoying the company of our peers.  The bus ride home was relatively quiet, most people were tired from our great adventure in New York. We were also happy to be warm and dry.  Overall it was a great day and a great adventure for our first H.C.S.S. field trip.
