Heronfield Academy invites the community to come together for a delicious night out in support of a great cause at its upcoming Restaurant Fundraiser Night at The Community Oven in Hampton.
On this special evening, a portion of all proceeds from dine-in and takeout orders will benefit Heronfield Academy’s Annual Fund, which directly supports student programs, faculty development, and enriching educational experiences. It’s a simple and meaningful way to give back—just enjoy a great meal with family and friends while helping strengthen a vibrant local school community.
The event is open to all and is a wonderful opportunity to connect, support local business, and make a positive impact. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to Heronfield, your participation helps sustain the school’s mission and programs.
Join us at The Community Oven in Hampton for an evening of great food, community spirit, and giving back.

“It’s Alive!” (Stuffed Animal Puppets): (Grades 3 &amp; up, 2-2.5 Hrs.)
What would happen if Dr. Frankenstein were let loose in a toy shop?&nbsp; Now I know what you are thinking: my child will be devastated and traumatized if we cut their favorite stuffed animal apart to create a puppet!&nbsp; Relax, my friends, I will supply an array of cleaned, used stuffed animals to dissect.&nbsp; This class is a great and unique way to teach students about hand puppets.&nbsp; In this class, each student will begin with a stuffed animal, which we will then proceed to turn into a hand puppet by opening it up, learning to pattern its mouth, and constructing &amp; installing a mouth plate.&nbsp; Miraculously, this will animate a formerly inanimate object, turning it from a mere toy into a puppet.
Creative Community Staff will pick students up at Epping Elementary School and walk them down to the Art Center.&nbsp; Students who are commuting should arrive by 3:35.
Registration deadline May 1st, midnight
