THE RAM GRAM

🖤 🐏 💛

The Ram Gram is your weekly connection to faith, learning, celebrations, and life at HCS!

Stay informed. Celebrate with us. See what it means to be an HCS Ram!

This week's forecast looks to be unseasonably warm so we are extending the chance for students to wear shorts for one extra week. The final day to wear shorts this calendar year is Friday, November 6th. Students will be permitted to wear them again during April 2027

It’s time for our Rams to put their faith into action as they complete laps and PE challenges to help send HCS alumna Josephine Kline to World Youth Day 2027 in South Korea!

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Students should bring their sponsorship/pledge forms to school beginning Monday so they can record their completed laps and challenges during PE class.

Donations aren’t due until Wednesday, November 11, but we’d LOVE an early check-in! Please share your student’s current pledge total so we can track our progress toward our $5,000 schoolwide goal and keep the excitement growing!

There’s still time to gather sponsors! Every lap, basket, volley, and sponsorship brings us one step closer!

Her YES is her journey. Helping her get there is OUR mission!

We are excited to announce that we have been working with a new vendor to offer you an online Basketball and Cheerleading Spirit Wear website.

Once the ordering window closes, and the orders have been processed, items will be delivered to the school and sent home with your child.

We were very fortunate to receive funding for the NASP (National Archery in the Schools Program) this school year. This means our current 8th graders will receive 10 instructional sessions from Mrs. Harrell during the second semester. Current 7th graders (next year's 8th graders) will also participate in Archery next school year.

This Month's Virtue

Our November virtue is Gratitude: recognizing that every good gift comes from God and responding with thankful hearts. Remember: Every Blessing Is a Gift. Today, say “thank you”—and mean it.

Our HCS Theme

See God's Image. Show Love, Respect, and Fairness.

Every Blessing Is a Gift: Gratitude reminds us that everything we have—our families, friendships, opportunities, talents, and faith—is a gift from God. When we begin to notice these blessings, our hearts naturally turn toward thanksgiving. And when we recognize how generously God has blessed us, we are inspired to share those blessings with others.

Take action this week: Each day, identify three specific blessings in your life and thank God for them. Consider sharing one of those blessings with someone else.

they're formed through ordinary choices made with great love."

If you sent in a picture (or pictures) last year of your Veteran for the slideshow,

you do not need to send them again. We are adding new photos to the existing slideshow.

Fiat is a Latin word meaning “Let it be done.” These words reflect Mary’s response to God’s

plan for her life. Her faithful “yes” brought Jesus into the world and changed everything.
