Dear Parents,
After 31 great years as an educator in Aiken County Public Schools and most recently 10 years as the Principal of Hammond Hill Elementary, I have decided to
retire. It has truly been my privilege to work at a school with such amazing students who put forth their best effort every day, and parents who support the
school’s initiatives. I leave you with the finest faculty and staff who are passionate
about teaching and constantly strive to create students who are passionate about
learning. Thank you for all that you have done to support me in my efforts to make
Hammond Hill Elementary the best that it can “bee.”
Sincerely,
Janet Vaughan

Thank You!
Mrs. Griffis’ Class would like to send a GREAT BIG THANK YOU for the “Clap and Shout Out” celebration
we received as we anxiously boarded the bus to Midland Valley HS where Special Olympics was held this
year. We are so grateful for the enthusiastic send-off and display of school spirit! The preschool students
loved it, and they had a great time at the event!
Talent Show Auditions!
It’s that time again! Auditions for Hammond Hill Elementary School’s annual talent show will be
held on Tuesday, May 12 (4th Graders) and Wednesday, May 13 (5th Graders) at 12:25 pm each
day in the school media center. All 4th and 5th graders are eligible to audition by singing, dancing
or playing an instrument. If a student has a talent other than those listed, they must have their audition pre-approved. If the student is singing, it is STRONGLY recommended that they provide musical accompaniment, i.e.,
a karaoke CD or mobile device. They may audition as a solo or as an ensemble. Ensembles will be evaluated as a group and
not as individual performers. The show will be held during the school day on Tuesday, May 26, when those who have been
selected will perform for the student body. All students wishing to audition must sign up in the music room.
