8th Grade Students and Parents,
HMS has a tradition called Farewell Flowers. All 8th graders will be allowed to participate in this event on May 12 during the school day. Each 8th grader will receive ONE flower and a tag. On the tag, students are asked to write a note to the adult at HMS that helped them BLOOM while in middle school. This can be to any adult at HMS - teacher, para, lunch lady, bus driver, office staff, custodian, counselor, or admin. Students will then be allowed to present their tag and flower to their adult. It is such a sweet time for the students and the adults.
Students will not have long for this activity. We are putting this on your radar now, so students can begin thinking about which adult at HMS they want to give their flower to.
If you have questions about this activity, please reach out to Mrs. Sanchez at Ashley.Sanchez@BossierSchools.org.

We understand that May is a BUSY month. Often times it is hard to keep up with everything going on. We hope this snapshot helps provide you with some key dates for HMS. Please understand we try very hard not to interfere with other events happening in our community, but sometimes events do overlap.
Please note:
- This is not every event - it is a snapshot of the BIGGER events!
- Our assembly times have changed. They will begin at 12:30.
- More information about these events will come out as we get closer to the dates.

We have a Dodgeball Tournament right around the corner. This tournament raises money for the American Heart Association. We are in jeopardy of not being able to host this tournament due to the lack of teams signed up.
We are asking that if your child wants to join a team, he/she gets the team and fee turned into Coach Newton this week. If we cannot get at least 20 teams we will cancel the tournament. The original sign up date was for next Wednesday, but we are asking to move the date up due to the lack of interest.
Students who don't participate will be given the opportunity to come watch the tournament.. if we have enough teams. More information will come as soon as we secure teams.
You can print your Team form here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11dDCGrC5_Q1f_rVeWXERIya9z_O9duwi2rHRuISjatA/edit?usp=sharing
