I was concerned about sending my son to Hamilton when he started kindergarten. My concerns were based mainly on things I had heard from other parents in the community. However, we have been there for a year and a half and we love it! The school has a fantastic administrative team who goes above and beyond everyday. I have found the parent community very involved and welcoming. In addition my son has had excellent teachers. He has not only become a fantastic reader but he is also being taught important character lessons which are encouraged in the classroom, on the playground and by administration. The school also has provided him an excellent opportunity to take after school enrichment classes in art, science, golf, and the list goes on. He is extremely happy and I am very glad I did not get scared away from my neighborhood school without giving it the chance it deserves.

i love their dedication to all of the students. Novato has great schools. Hamilton has quite a diverse group of students and is expanding their programs to really nurture these kids and their dreams for the future!

They could be doing much more to earn money by collecting more then just BoxTops & Soup Labels. There are Capri Sun Drink Pouches, Used cell phones, laptops, empty ink/toner cartridges. They should look at TerraCycling.com What is PTA REALLY doing?

It is great to teach our kids to give to others-within limits. Support without demanding! I boycott school fundraisers; donate elsewhere to show real value in helping where needed.

From the asking perspective (such as schools asking students to donate to causes) frequent appeals for donations creates real problems for families who cannot afford to donate to every appeal or cause. Stop pressuring kids for money.
