Grade 8 STUCO Dance - January 19th
HMS is excited to host an 8th grade dance on January 19th from 6-8pm at the Middle School. We will have a DJ and dancing in the gym, with concessions for sale and a movie hangout in the cafeteria for when students need a place to chill. The cost of the dance is $5 and permission is required. Please fill out this form by no later than 5:00pm on January 18th.
Attire for the event is "dress up or dress down". While students are encouraged to "look nice," this is not a formal or semi-formal dance like they might experience in High School. In keeping with creating a safe and inclusive event for all HMS students, we are discouraging "dates" and would instead encourage students to come with friends or on their own.
GRADE 7 Parents Volunteer Opportunity
Our 8th grade students have planned a dance on January 19th. As you can imagine, most students do not want their parents volunteering at their dance. We are asking for 7th grade parents to volunteer at the dance understanding the favor will be returned next year for your students. Volunteers must be CORI cleared and have a Hold Harmless agreement on file. If you are interested in volunteering, but unsure if you CORI is up to date, please contact the main office. We hope you will consider volunteering for our 8th graders who are very excited about their DISCO themed dance.
