Week 2 Notes:

We had a great first full week back at HMS!  Please remind your student to keep up with their Bulldog Fun Friday punch card!  This week, we will start having only 3 paws on their cards. 

Any student without any punches will get to enter their card into a drawing for a prize at the end of the month.  Parents who would like to donate a small gift card or prize for the drawing may do so.  Some examples would be:  $5-$10 gift card for Starbucks, Chik-fil-a, Sweet Frog, etc., Fidget Spinners, or any popular “toy” that students would be excited to win.  We want to encourage students to do their best in everything, and want them to be rewarded for effort and good behavior!  I (Mr. McQueen) will be speaking with local businesses about donating to this cause as well.  Thanks in advance!

Please encourage your students to study each night for upcoming daily grades, vocabulary quizzes, tests, etc.

Thank you for helping us have a great start to the 2017-2018 School Year!  We have some fantastic students this year, and we are looking forward to a wonderful year!
