Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe!

Announcements

∙ HMS Reads will be meeting this week – 6th graders tomorrow, Jan 29th, and 7th Graders on Friday, Jan 30th. 7th graders interested in attending the Harry Potter Movie Marathon should be sure to attend! We welcome new members! Come see what it's all about!

∙ In the HMS Cafeteria this Friday, Jan 30th, we will be serving Hydroponic Lettuce and Baked Chicken grown and raised by the Holmen FFA members. I would like to encourage students and staff to come and try lunch on Friday! This is a very exciting project that the FFA members are doing! Holmen is the first school district to have done anything like this in the mid-west and possibly the country. Thanks so much for your support!

∙ Nurse Bigjohn’s words of wisdom for “Wellness Wednesday”: Keep your hands away from your face to avoid spreading and catching germs. Make sure you wash your hands or use hand gel before and/or after: changing your contact lenses, blowing your nose, rubbing your eyes, eating with your fingers, shopping, using the handrail, going to the clinic, etc.

∙ Students: Your bus drivers will begin giving students “bus tokens” as a way to acknowledge students who are demonstrating respectful, responsible, and safe behavior on the bus. These bus tokens are similar to our shieldies. If you receive a bus token, please put them in your grade level shieldy collection box to be counted towards your shieldy goals.

∙ 8th Grade TAG Students: Mrs. Stein is posting a notice to each of you. Please pick it up from the doorway outside her room. If any of your TAG-mates do not pick up their notice, please help Mrs. Stein out and remind them to pick up their notice. Thank you!

∙ If you love creative writing, then there’s a contest is for you! HMS has spots for three students to attend a creative writing workshop in February. You could be one of those 3 lucky writers! Pick up the contest information outside the Attendance Office. It has the writing prompt for your story and the other contest requirements. Your story can be no more than 750 words, and you must turn it in to Mrs. Stein by February 6. See Mrs. Stein (room 136) if you have questions.
