Feburary News
Message from Mrs. Riddle
February is a great month filled with lots of kindness and sweet treats! It's a time to look around and find ways to make someone's day, give to others and be grateful for what we have. That's not always easy to do when things are busy. We appreciate each one of you and are thankful for your support. Go Hawks!

We rolled out our Sources of Strength program with a fun and interactive school-wide scavenger hunt. The program focuses on protective factors that we can lean on when times are tough. The 8 sources of strength on the wheel are family support, positive friends, mentors, healthy activities, generosity, spirituality, and physical health. We are working on our next campaign focusing on our strengths. Be sure to ask your child about Sources of Strength.
YouScience lessons will be given to students during their Flextime in the second semester. YouScience is a career exploration program the county uses to help students uncover their natural abilities (what makes them awesome) and help them find a career path that will best use those talents. Be sure to ask them about YouScience over the next two months.
Please reach out to us in the counseling office if you have any questions or concerns. Be sure to follow us on Instagram at counselingoffice_hms for updates on middle and high school transition information.

Did You Know? from Deputy Long
Deputy Long is keeping things light and bright with this months, Did you know? Did you know all vehicles should display lights any time from a half-hour after sunset to a half-hour before sunrise and at any time when it is raining? This also includes any other time when there is not sufficient visibility to see pedestrians and vehicles on the highway at a distance of 500 feet.
