HMS Update

Dear HMS parents, guardians, and caregivers,

We have reached the end of another wonderful school year. It has been exciting to see the ways our students grew and transformed this year! Pictured below are three different highlights. The first highlights the work of our sixth graders connecting with their Rowe School buddies at Royal River Park. The second is artwork done by a 7th grader as part of their "Jill Pelto's Art Meets Science" unit. The final two pictures are performers from yesterday morning's Yearbook Assembly. Our students continue to amaze us here at HMS, and we are so fortunate be a part of their educational journey.

To our 8th-grade families: best of luck as you transition to YHS! To our returning families, our next HMS Update will be shared in August as we prepare for another awesome school year. Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Be in touch with any questions or concerns. Have a wonderful summer!

With Gratitude,

Mandy Lewis and Tom McDowell
