🐉 Great things are happening at HMS!

Students were further challenged to operate simulation cars while wearing visual impairment googles. Thank you Operation UNITE for a great program!

HES students in Ms. Wilson’s Health & PE classes recently took part in a Fitness Fair. Students completed different stations, such as sit-ups, wall push-ups, bear crawl, balance, sit and reach, etc. Several members of the community come to help during the Fitness Fair. Members came from ARH, SKCTC, 4H Extension Office, FRYSC, Save the Children, 21st Century, and PRI. Students also received a healthy snack at the end of the Fitness Fair. Through this event, students get to learn about healthy activities and snacks, as well as the careers of those who volunteer during the stations. It was an awesome experience for all those involved!🐉

🐉🐉 Great things are happening at HMS! Recently, PRI funded the opportunity to begin a LEGO Robotics Team at HMS. Select students in 5th and 6th grade with the help of Mrs. Howard and Mr. Dickenson are working to build a team to assemble a robot and complete missions towards the chance of competing at the Regional Tournament in Hazard in December! This is another great experience for students as we aim to continue to give them more opportunities here at school.
