A special congratulations to our littlest learners on their graduation from Little Hawks Preschool today! We are so proud of all you have learned this year!
TK and Kindergarten took a field trip to Mill Creek Park in Paullina. Students enjoyed interacting with and learning about nature. They listened to a talk on various types of animal furs, explored while hiking, and dipped for minnows. A big thank you to Lindsey Kleinhesselink and the O'Brien County Nature Center crew for such a fun and adventurous time!

TK learned about important people in American history, and Martin Luther King Jr. was one of them! We learned that his goal was to spread kindness. Martin Luther King Jr. did just that by visiting sick people at hospitals. Last week, TK paid it forward and planted flowers at the Hartley nursing home and assisted living!
Our 5th and 6th grade band brought music and joy to residents at the Sanborn and Hartley nursing homes Wednesday, May 7th! The performances were a hit—and so was the entertaining chaos of loading and unloading instruments/equipment.
We wrapped up with a quick drink stop at the Grain House, thanks to our awesome Music Boosters. A fun and successful day all around!
Help us welcome Ms. Devyn Briggs to our HMS Team! Ms. Briggs will join the High School, teaching Business next year!

NCC hosted the Junkyard Wars Race, where local high school teams could build and race a go-kart made from scratch. HMS High School sent two teams, and both teams did very well in their races! Mr. Spier and the students worked on these carts for almost the entire second semester to get them ready to race. Way to go!
Last week, the Softball Team joined us for High Five Friday! Thanks for helping us start our Friday off right! Good luck with your upcoming season!
