On behalf of the North Hampton PAL (People Active in Learning), we extend a huge thank you to all of the volunteers and community members who offered their time and support to make this year’s Back To School Picnic a wonderful success.

Due to our generous sponsors’ support, we were very excited to make this our first “by donation only” picnic.  Guy & Jenny Marshall of Lamprey Energy have served as our elite sponsor and largest supporter year after year.  We are grateful for their generosity and overall contribution.  Our other sponsors include:  Shaw’s Supermarket (watermelon donation), Shel-Al Campground (ice donation), Joe’s Meat Shoppe (discounted meats) and The Beach Plum, for their delicious ice cream.  Without our local supporters, this event would never be able to take place.

To the Facilities & Office staff – we know that you worked feverishly around the clock to get the school in order, especially after a full summer of beautiful renovations.  The school looks amazing and your hard work does not go unnoticed –  thank you!

To the Food Services group – thank you for purchasing and preparing only the best, local and fresh foods for the picnic.  Thank you for your assistance from start to finish.  Your commitment to maintain a healthy environment is unsurpassed.

To the teachers and aids - thank you for opening up your classrooms to the students and parents in attendance.  Your time and energy to get them acquainted with you and their new spaces is instrumental for a successful first day of school. 

And finally to the parents – it takes a lot of volunteers to make an event such as this a success. Your support is what makes us a great community.
