Hathaway School in Portsmouth: 'Thank you, Officer Moy!'

School assembly focuses on giving thanks

Posted

PORTSMOUTH — Hathaway School’s new safety and security officer, Chris Moy, was the star of the show during the school’s November community meeting last week, which focused on giving thanks.

Students cheered and shouted Mr. Moy’s name, with many holding signs of appreciation, as he entered the room. Students from each grade brought up cards and signs of thanks.

Mrs. Hole's class performed a song they created just for him: “You Will Keep Us Safe." He was also presented with a small token of appreciation: a school mug engraved with his name and the hashtag, “#HappyHathaway.” 

The meeting began with students thanked for being respectful, responsible, safe and ready to learn, as well as their donation of more than 1,000 canned goods and over 800 pairs of socks. 

Next, the faculty and staff were thanked with shouts of “T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U” and gifts of popchips with a note that said, “Just popping in to say thank you for all that you do." 

Finally, Clements’ Marketplace received thanks for all the support the store has provided to the Hathaway community. Tracy Anthony, the store’s vice president, was presented with a plaque to show the school’s appreciation.
