Adventure Awaits in Panama
Dear families,
Your student is invited to join us on an upcoming educational travel experience to Panama in Summer 2025!
When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and I would love to have your student join me on this adventure.
Come hear all the details, including the itinerary, activities, academic opportunities, the cost of the trip and EF’s risk-free enrollment period at our informational meeting on February 13th at 5:30pm.
The meeting will take place the HMS Cafeteria. Please click here to register for the meeting ASAP to save your spot: https://bit.ly/48Rpib3
There are limited spots on this trip, so we would love to have you attend this meeting to learn more about this exciting opportunity!
Please contact me at merskine@hannibal60.com with any questions.

HMS Yearbook Order
Hannibal Middle is using Treering to build the yearbook. That means your yearbooks have a personal touch: your book includes two free pages for you to personalize with your photos and your memories.
You can personalize and order your book for $17.57 until March 25, 2024. (The personal pages are totally optional, so if you just want the more traditional yearbook, that's okay, too.)
