THE HAMPTON ACADEMY / WINNACUNNET HIGH SCHOOL (HAWHS) ALUMNI ASSOCIATION HOLDS HOLIDAY FUNDRAISING EVENT AT THE COMMUNITY OVEN IN HAMPTON

Hampton, NH, December 14, 2015– The Community Oven in Hampton is sponsoring a fundraiser for the Hampton Academy / Winnacunnet High School (HAWHS) Alumni Association on Community Monday, December 21, 2015 starting at 5:00pm and ending at 9:00pm.

For the 2015/2016 academic year, the HAWHS Alumni Association is raising funds to support the HAWHS Winnacunnet High School Scholarship program, the HAWHS Military Salute Program and other activities. Tracy Emerton Williams, President and Class of 1981 explained “Since our goal is to double our current endowment – we are scheduling events every few months to encourage alumni of the Hampton Academy and Winnacunnet High School to come out and support the campaign. Our Holiday Event at the Community Oven is being supported by Shane Pine who is himself a WHS alumni”

Shane Pine, Class of 1993 who is the owner of the Community Oven said “I was born and raised in Hampton and have lived here my entire life. Throughout my younger years I myself and my family have used the services that Hampton and the Seacoast provides (Tuck field, boy scouts, rec field etc.) and Community Monday’s is a way for me to give back to the community that once gave to me and my family.”

Jesse Green, Class of 2010 and the most recent addition to the HAWHS Alumni Association Board of Trustees, added “The Community Oven is a perfect venue for recent Winnacunnet High School graduates to come in and enjoy a pizza with friends who are back for the holiday break or for alumni who have young families and want to help us out but are busy raising the next generation of warriors.”

“We ask that any alumni of the Hampton Academy and Winnacunnet High School join us for a pizza at the Community Oven on Monday, December 21st, 5-9pm. For every pizza ordered whether take out or eat in we raise money to support our activities – plus it’s great to see familiar faces from the various class years” said Mr. Ted Davis, Chairman of the Board of Trustees and WHS Class of 1961.

The Hampton Academy and Winnacunnet High School Alumni Association was founded in 1907 and its mission is to create an organization that helps graduates work together for the common good. Our goal is to provide members with the ability to renew old acquaintances, continue an everlasting interest in the school, and strengthen alumni support through reunions, scholarships and grants, student career programs, and other special events.
