Our 7th graders participated in a number of activities to further their social emotional learning this morning. Here the students are practicing yoga poses!
Our 6th graders engaged in several team building activities today in their homerooms. If you are a parent or guardian of a 6th grader, ask your student what they learned from playing Key Pad, Where's My Chicken, and Go Fetch!
It was great to be back with our students at HMS today! Today marked our first day ever of 8th grade General Music class. Mr. Snow helped to transform a band storage area into a playing space for this new class. Many thanks to the Yarmouth Music Boosters for the keyboards!

We continued our work today to prepare for our first day with students on Tuesday. We did some full staff work this week with two of our new district core values: achievement and lifelong learning. We are so looking forward to seeing our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders next week!
Thank you to the Yarmouth Education Foundation for the breakfast treats! They were a big hit and helped us get off to a wonderful start with our staff professional development work this morning.
Today, we met with our incoming, New-To-Yarmouth teachers. We are so excited to have them join the HMS staff!
We also realized today that we are two weeks from the start of the school year. We are looking forward to seeing our students on Tuesday, September 6th!
