Mrs. Johannsen's Kindergarten class earned 100 hawks! To celebrate, they decided they wanted to read to the students from Mrs. Schimmer's 3rd grade class! They also made sure to take advantage of the beautiful day and read outside. Great job, KB! Keep up the safe, responsible, and respectful behavior!
We would like to extend a grand thank you to our Administrative Assistants today! We are so thankful for all of the things you do to help everyone's day run smoothly but we are extra thankful for the behind-the-scenes work that goes unnoticed most days. Thank you for your continued efforts to make HMS the best! We appreciate you!
