Today, HMS student ambassadors visited the 5th-grade classrooms at Grantfork Elementary and Highland Elementary to talk about life at the middle school. We had a lot of good questions and enjoyed the opportunity to share with the 5th graders. This Thursday, we will host their parents at a Parent Night for all incoming 6th-grade students from 6 to 7 pm.
The track meet for today has been canceled due to pending weather.
There will be no practice today.
We had some help putting up our new flag today.
