Mr. Hinman was one of my favorite teachers! He taught my 4th grade and we were so happy to see him come back for our 8th grade graduation. He will be missed!

Mr. Hinman was my 4th grade teacher in Northwood, NH. He had a wonderful way of teaching! We played chess and scrabble in his class! We learned to square dance and play soccer. I still have the black and white photo he took of me over 30 years ago!
Thank-you for making my 4th grade year one I have never forgotten!
