Reminders For Tomorrow (Spirit Day πŸ“£):
1.  Bring a pen for yearbook signing - an ultra-fine point Sharpie also works and doesn't smear.
2.  Plan to wear your Spirit Day t-shirt (you will receive your t-shirt in Homeroom tomorrow).
3.  You might want a water bottle (optional).
4.  Be ready to have a positive attitude and show your school spirit! 
 
Homeroom Announcements:
  • Parents: If your child did not purchase a yearbook, there may be extras. Please have your child bring a check payable to "HMS" in the amount of $90 directly to Mrs. Simpson in the Hutto Lab.
  • If no yearbook is desired, I have booklets for those students so they can share in the "yearbook signing" activities tomorrow and Thursday!
  • Please note: Students in 6th grade ELA/SS homerooms will keep the yearbooks in class (so they don't get lost and guarantee the students have them available the next two days). Students will bring the yearbooks home with them on Thursday!
