HHS Student Council Monthly News

Dear Hopkins scholars, families, and staff:

Happy February! We have so many fun things to look forward to this month. Get excited for a month full of fun. Keep reading to find out more. 🙂

As a collective of students elected to represent our school community, we recognize the importance of amplifying the diverse voices at Hopkins. This Black History Month, we reaffirm our commitment to representing our peers by celebrating the contributions of the black community at Hopkins.

We had so much fun co-hosting culture night with Immigrating To Success! Thank you to everyone who made this night possible and hats off to the performers.

Starting Monday, February 10th, look for a paper heart with your name on it. If your heart has a sticker on the back, you can claim a free Sweethearts Dance Ticket! Bring your heart to the ticket-selling table at lunch to redeem your ticket.

Get ready for Sweethearts Spirit Week. Come dressed in your best spirit for a chance to win a free ticket to the sweetheart dance. To be considered for a free ticket you must DM a picture of your outfit to @Studcohhs by 2/14.

Our sweethearts pepfest is right around the corner and we couldn't be more excited to share all the fun with you! The exciting line-up includes the staff vs student basketball game and captains' dodgeball.
