Our Leadership students are currently working on their final assignment of the year: “Letter to My Future Self” 💌✨

Using the professional email skills they learned this semester, students are writing thoughtful letters to themselves that Mrs. Thurman will schedule and send to them later in high school.

Many students have chosen to write to their future senior selves about friendships, goals, memories, and the kind of person they hope to become 🎓💭 It has been such a meaningful project that encourages students to reflect on how far they’ve come while also looking ahead to their future!

We can’t wait for them to open these emails one day and see just how much they’ve grown ❤️

Attention 6th grade Families -

EAST Night OUT- 2nd Edition will be Monday, May 18th at Neighbor's Mill from 5:00- 5:45 pm. Attendance is voluntary and in the "meet and greet" style. The one we had in March (getting ready for conference) went really well, and we wanted to give that opportunity to all EAST students.

Anyone is invited to attend. We have both rooms reserved. One room will host the morning EAST classes and the other room will host the afternoon EAST classes. EAST students willing to come, will be there to talk about EAST and about their EAST projects. Parents/ guardians are invited to attend, as well.

This will also be an opportunity for the community to interact with EAST students and share ideas for future projects and partnerships.

AG Day Photos - Part 2

Today we hosted our very first Ag Day at HMS, and it was an incredible success!

Ag Day began as a project idea from two 8th grade students, Avery and Addison, in Mrs. Benton’s class who wanted to help students learn more about agriculture and the opportunities it provides. What started as a classroom idea turned into a day full of hands-on learning, community involvement, and meaningful experiences for our students.

We are so thankful for the amazing community volunteers who stepped up to make this day possible. Your time, support, and willingness to invest in our students made a huge impact. We truly love and appreciate our community!

A special thank you to Polaris: Blake and Jake Young, Wendy Hendrix from the Conservation Office, Paula Swan, Carrie Richter, Brenna Brust, Billy Jack Burns, and Harrison FFA for helping make our first Ag Day one to remember!

📣 Message from 7th & 8th Grade FCA

Today, our 7th & 8th Grade FCA students were encouraged by guest speaker Kevin Kaser. He shared the importance of keeping our “batteries charged” for Jesus by being kind, patient, and getting along with others. He reminded students that we are not meant to do life alone — we need Jesus and we need each other. Thank you, Kevin Kaser, for pouring into our students today! ✝️💙💛

Join us for EAST Night OUT – 2nd Edition on Monday, May 18th from 5:00–5:45 PM at Neighbor's Mill!

Attendance is voluntary and will be a casual “meet and greet” style event. Our first EAST Night OUT in March, held as students prepared for conference, was a great success, and we wanted to offer the same opportunity to all EAST students.

Both rooms at Neighbor’s Mill have been reserved:

One room will host the morning EAST classes

One room will host the afternoon EAST classes

Students who attend will be available to share information about EAST and showcase their EAST projects. Parents and guardians are encouraged to attend as well!

This event is also a wonderful opportunity for community members to connect with EAST students, learn about their work, and share ideas for future projects and partnerships.

Mrs. Benton and Dacey visited Seed Digging to donate painting kits as part of Dacey’s project, Paint Your Peace.

Dacey first started this project in Mrs. Benton’s class with a simple but powerful goal: to support mental health by giving kids a creative outlet. Each kit includes everything a child needs to step outside, paint, and take a moment to find their own sense of peace.

Her mission is to reach kids in need and provide a positive, calming activity that encourages self-expression and connection with nature.

We were so grateful for the opportunity to share these kits with the therapists at Seed Digging, who were excited to receive them and put them to good use.

We’re proud of Dacey’s heart for helping others and the impact she’s already making 💙
