Family Weekend

October 31 - November 2

Dear Hamilton Families,

It was marvelous to see so many Hamilton families on the Hill for what turned out to be a glorious fall weekend! Family Weekend 2008 had near-record attendance, the football team almost won and our performing arts students were as talented as they have ever been. If any of you have photos that you would like to share please feel free to e-mail them to me.

We would love to hear your comments and suggestions about how we can make future events even better, and have provided a quick survey for this purpose. Please take a moment to complete it.

Thank you to all who made the weekend wonderful! We look forward to seeing many of you next year.
