Principal's Message November 26, 2024!
Hello Patriot Families!
As this is the month for giving thanks, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support and partnership with our school community. Your involvement makes a difference in the lives of our students and staff every day. Wishing you a joyful holiday, for those that celebrate Thanksgiving, filled with love, laughter, and time with those who matter most. Students are out of school from Wednesday, November 27 through Friday, November 29. Have a wonderful and restful break, we will see you back on Monday, December 2!
Next week:
- Tuesday, December 3: Students will participate in a spelling test to see if they qualify to be in this year's HMS Spelling Bee. Students and families should be notified by Thursday, December 5.
- Wednesday, December 4:
- Reflections Breakfast: We had 7 students participate in the Reflections program that provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts. Each year, students create original works of art in response to a student-created theme. This program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life. This year’s theme was “Accepting Imperfection”. The HMS PTA is honoring them with a breakfast, with their parents and a friend, in the media center on December 4, during Encore.
- Cultural Arts Performance: Our PTA is providing students with a cultural arts performance on Greek Mythology for 6th-graders during electives. Thank you, PTA!
- Thursday, December 5: Sports pictures after school
- Friday, December 6:
- Character Education Breakfast; parents have been notified if their child was selected for this recognition.
- Track 1 tracks out and returns January 6, 2025!
