Congratulations to the HMS students who attended the National Junior Honor Society ceremony this week. We cannot wait to see the difference that our 7th graders will make next year when they become 8th graders!

Our 5th graders played Bingo for Books today. We handed out over 300 books (1-5 books/student) and about 50 posters. The majority of students even played with 2 boards! Many thanks to families for their donated books! Happy reading!
