Can you help Peer Leaders help others?
The Peer Leadership Club will be asking our community to make a difference this week. Peer Leadership is sponsoring a drive to benefit the People's Resource Center beginning today and ending Friday, Jan. 27. Spartan families, bring in any non-perishable food items (e.g., canned goods, boxed foods), toiletries, or baby items during this week-long drive. Thank you!
SELAS Week begins January 23rd HMS, other D181 schools
Today begins SELAS (Social Emotional Learning for Academic Success) Week throughout District 181. At HMS, the focus will be on stress: helping students identify and cope with stress. Spartan students and staff will have long advisory periods all week to focus on specific SELAS activities and discussions. Look for a special e-mail to parents detailing what our Spartan students will be talking about this week. And mark your calendars now for the Feb. 8 HMS PTO meeting, where parents will have an opportunity to discuss the stress our children feel and how to help them manage it.
Volleyball tryouts
The HMS boys and girls volleyball season will begin in February. Volleyball is open to all 7th & 8th graders; a current school sports physical must be on file with the school nurse to participate. Tryouts for the girls volleyball teams will be held on Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 30 & 31, after school in the gym. Tryouts for the boys teams will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 1 & 2. Contact one of the PE teachers or Ms. Uscila for more information.
