You can get more information on the Puyallup Fair by going to their website thefair.com .
Also a reminder that students will or have brought home a handbook signature page. Please sign and return these...their Homerooms get points if it is by Monday!
HMS Cross Country: The September 19 meet at Forks has been cancelled. Instead, the Cross Country team will participate in a meet at Aberdeen on September 20, at 3:30 pm. The meet will take place at Makarenko Park in Cosmopolis. That's a small savings in gas money :)
It's been a few years since HMS topped their crosstown rivals in a football game. Tonight that streak came to an end! Congratulations to our 7th grade football team for their impressive 33-14 win over Miller tonight! Way to go Cubs!
