HMS Parents and Students: Congratulations to our Cross Country Team who had a great showing in their first meet at Hoquiam yesterday! On a hot muggy day, Cub runners placed very well in the field of 80 plus runners. 8th Grader Caleb Gudino took first overall, and smashed a course record by 6 seconds! Cross Country is at Aberdeen next Wednesday!

HMS Football Parents and Students: Changes to our schedule for next week: Tenino only has one team, 8th Grade. So the 7th grade game next week is cancelled. The 8th grade game will be on Wednesday, when 7th was supposed to play, due to Tenino transportation issues.

HMS Parents: The Friday early releases begin in October. We are on full days on Fridays through September.

HMS Cross Country Parents: The meet at home today has been pushed back to a 4:00 start for the Middle School races. I would still get their early as parking could be challenging (there are almost 80 runners in the middle school race alone). Should be a beautiful afternoon for a race! Go Cubs!

HMS Parents and Students: Picture Day is coming! Monday, September 18. Details are attached to this post. Students will be given a hard copy of the information. Jostens now does everything online, so no picture packets, no sending money to school. It is ALL online now. If you have questions, please call our main office at 360-538-8220.

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 :)
