Read below to see what our staff has planned for winter break:

Tyler:
I am going to my family's house.

Audrey:
I will be making cookies. I will visit my family and we will exchange presents. We will then just hang out, watch movies, and play games like chess.


Ruhaan:
For Christmas I will go to my aunt's house, watch movies and play with my cousins. But for New years I’ll relax and watch movies.


Solomon:

I am going to stay at home all day and play video games


Sam:
I am going to Stowe, Vermont over Winter break. On the 26th, my family and I are going to drive to Massachusetts to see my Grandma for 1 day. The next day, we are going to drive up to Vermont and stay there until the 2nd of January and drive back home.

Hampton was closed for Thanksgiving break from November 24th-November 27th.  Here is what our staff members were up to over break:

Tremaine:
What I did for Thanksgiving is I was on YouTube and on Thanksgiving and I went to my uncle’s house for a little bit. 
 
Solomon:
My mom made Thanksgiving dinner. We called all our family members and ate.  That’s it.
 
Bodie:
Something that I did over Thanksgiving break was that I had well Thanksgiving dinner with my family and then I played a lot of Minecraft and made some Youtube videos. I also spent some time with my family and me and my dad were going to make a Whitehouse Lego set but forgot.
I also did some origami because I was bored at some points, and that was what I did on my Thanksgiving break.
 
Audrey
I stayed home for Thanksgiving break because of covid-19 so that we would stay safe. We did not have a turkey, just our favorite sides. All that we did the rest of the week was hanging out together and we watched movies. I had a lot of fun over Thanksgiving break.
 
Ruhaan
During Thanksgiving break my family and I went to my aunt's house to celebrate Thanksgiving and we had a chocolate turkey.  Two days before that I stayed at my aunt’s house and I played with my cousins during those times and we watched tv, played phone and played in the leaves.
 
Sam
I did many things over Thanksgiving Break. Here are a few:
First, my grandfather came down from Vermont to celebrate with us.
Then, I had Thanksgiving dinner (Very good).  After that, I went to the aquarium with my grandfather, my dad, and my brother.  Finally, I just hung out with my grandfather, we had a fire in our fireplace, and we played some board games.

          On Thanksgiving I delivered food to families with my sister and my uncle.  We have been doing this for several years, and we missed doing it last year when COVID prevented it.  We have finally gotten to the point where my uncle will let me use Google Maps on my cell phone instead of using his paper maps or printed directions.
          For dinner, we went to my aunt’s house.  She loves to cook and made lots of different foods for people to enjoy.  I am a really picky eater, so I only have a little bit of turkey and a lot of Kraft mac’n’cheese that I make myself.  I made three boxes this year so that I would have plenty!  After dinner, I went to my parents’ house, and we watched a new movie together.
          Over the weekend, my sister, my mom, and I decorated my parents’ house for Christmas.  We have done this every year since I was little, and even though my sister and I don’t live at home anymore, we always go over to help my mom decorate.  It’s one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving break.
