A Message from the Principal!

On Tuesday, December 9th, all students participating in the Science Fair must set up their projects. They may bring their projects to school and set up during their class time, or they can set up from 2:30-4:30. Projects are not allowed to be set up on Wednesday due to judging starting at 7:30. Science Fair Projects and Presentations will be Wednesday, December 10th.

The Science Fair Open House starts at 5:00, and awards promptly begin at 5:30. Students must take their projects and table with them after the awards show. Any students not attending the awards must take their projects home Wednesday at the end of the school day. Hedgesville Middle Science Department is not responsible for any lost or stolen items left in the gym after Wednesdays awards.

We will be putting up a Christmas tree in the main hallway decorated with tags requesting items to be donated to those in need this holiday season. If you are able, please take a tag and return the requested item to Mrs. Brust or Mrs. Hutzler by December 17th. We are collecting hygiene products and cold weather items. Your generosity can make a big difference for families in our community! All items collected will be donated to the local women’s shelter.

Additionally, Student Council will be selling Candy Cane Grams. Students can purchase a candy cane gram, write a message to a friend, and spread some holiday cheer! Grams will be sold during lunch from December 8-12. It will be $1 for the gram and $2 for the gram and a candy cane. All Candy Cane Grams will be delivered on Wednesday, December 17th.

Thank you for supporting our school and helping us make the season brighter for others!
