Hornet Families,
We had an exciting and memorable week full of celebration, achievement, and connection!
Teacher Appreciation Week was in full swing with events and treats each day to show our incredible staff just how much they mean to our students and families. A highlight came on Wednesday, when our 8th-grade class surprised the teachers with a special gift: the chance to pie students in the face! It was a fun and hilarious event that brought lots of laughs and perfectly captured the spirit of appreciation and school community.
On Tuesday, our 3rd-grade class traveled to Custer for a very special meeting with their pen-pals. These students have been exchanging letters all year long, and finally got to meet their writing buddies face-to-face. It was a heartwarming experience full of smiles, stories, and new friendships.
It was also a big week for our track and field team! On Tuesday, they competed at the West River Invite in Rapid City, where we saw outstanding performances and new school records. Congratulations to:
-
Will K., who broke the school records in both the 800-meter run and the triple jump,
-
Morgan B., who set a new record in the shot put, and
-
Sienna M., who shattered the school record in the 200-meter hurdles.
Karmyn E., who broke the school record in the triple jump.
The team continued their strong season with another meet in Edgemont on Thursday, proudly representing Hermosa School with dedication and teamwork.
Thank you for your continued support and encouragement of our students. We’re looking forward to another great week ahead!
