HMS Weekly

GOOD AFTERNOON HMS FAMILIES:


Studies, cereal boxes, Spirit Week, and stage performances.  We were able to enjoy all of these items and more this week.  Spring Fever also made an appearance and we know everyone is ready for a well-deserved break from school.  


You might be cleaning out backpacks, traveling somewhere exotic, cooking for family, or celebrating Find a Rainbow Day (April 3rd).  Whatever you choose to do, we hope you have a wonderful week of refreshment and renewal.


See you back on April 8th!


Please take a moment to review a few important updates and reminders.
