PINK OUT at the HMS Football Game this week!! (first game starts @ 4:15pm)

Did you know? Our faculty is committed to bringing in a guest speaker for the school at least once a month during Hero Hour. This past Friday, our 7th grade students got to hear Ms. Wheelchair Arkansas, Erica Graser-Gates. The 6th graders will get to see her this coming Friday! | Here is an example...... During Hero Hour we have ALL KINDS of academic, project-based work happening. We use this time to help students on work that they may be struggling to achieve OR we push students beyond standards they already are achieving. This attachment is just a sample of one group and the work they have been doing. Ask your student what he/she does during Hero Hour! | Author visiting - pre-order books NOW! On October 24th, HMS will have the author Dan Gemeinhart in our building all day. He is going to present to our students and also conduct writing workshops. There will be a time to have books signed by the author. If you would like to pre-order his book(s), please complete THIS FORM and return it by this Friday, October 11th. |

Did you know 3 out of 10 breast cancers will progress to stage IV or metastatic breast cancer regardless of the stage at diagnosis? Stage IV is terminal and the median life expectancy is 3 years. Only 2-5% of funds are used for research to better understand metastatic breast cancer, or finding solutions to extend the lives of patients with MBC. This is where Metavivor comes in. Metavivor uses its funds for research to save the 112 lives dying daily from metastatic breast cancer in the hopes to improve the longevity and quality of life for MBC patients. | Now Hiring Bus Drivers The Springdale Public Schools are looking to hire up to 25 Bus Drivers before Thanksgiving!
