It's amazing how many avid readers we have here in our middle school, and not to mention, SO refreshing to see young minds eager to pick up a book! We are excited to have more book fairs in the future! Happy reading! 🤗 📖

In recognition of Kindness Week, at HHMS we strongly encouraged our students and staff to dress up each day of the week! From Team Day to School Spirit Day, students dressed to impress with every theme! It was a wonderful reminder that kindness can be spread in any way, shape, or form! 🩷 🫰

5th Grade students are hard at work on their culminating project—designing their very own museum exhibits! As part of Unit 2 in the Units of Study, they’ve been researching the universe, exploring everything from galaxies to gravity. Love seeing their curiosity shine as they bring their learning to life! 🌌✨
