Join HAMS in Celebrating Socktober
HAMS will join Kid President in collecting socks for those in need. Each night in the United States, an estimated 600,000 people live on the streets. This October, the goal is to have 2 million people to show that even a small act of love, such as donating a pair of socks, can make a big difference in the lives of our neighbors who are homeless.
Socks are the most needed but least donated article of clothing in homeless shelters. Let's participate in a soul warming experience by donating socks.

Attendance
Attendance is an essential part of student success. When your child misses school, instruction and rich classroom discussion is lost. Hoopeston Area has a goal of 95% attendance. Please stress the importance of attendance with your child.
Parent Advisory
The first Parent Advisory meeting was Tuesday, October 10. We discussed offering a Parent series. A survey will be available during parent teacher conference to see topic interests.
The group discussed volunteer opportunities for parents. The middle school will have a Science Night second semester and an Accelerated Reader auction in May.
