Hunt Middle School Blog - February 17th

Happy winter!
 

Well, it looks like Mother Nature is having her way with us, finally. We hope you've bundled up nicely over the last few days. Just keep things warm thoughts as it's just a few more weeks until spring hits the calendar. Luckily we have lots of good activities and events coming up. Even though they probably don't want to, bundle up your kids!

Happy snow day Starlight families!  

Because of the snow day we have had to make an adjustment to this week's schedule.  Therefore, all cast was called Wednesday so that the kids can learn their parts and read thru the script. 
 
Friday will remain the same.

 
Friday February 18th: 
 
o  3:30-4:30 w/ Ashley: All cast 
o  3:30-4:30 w/ Karen: Greaseball Trains  
o  4:30-5:15 w/ Karen on stage: Elektra Trains

Crew kids will pick up again on Tuesday, March 8 (due to vacation for next two Tuesdays).

Hunt Dance Party/Silent Auction



All who attended and braved the sub-zero temperatures and wind chill had a nice, warm dancing evening. We want to thank all who attended and help make this another great Hunt event. We're still tallying up the money we made and will let you know soon. Or better yet, come to the PTO meeting this Thursday evening. (Do you spot a trend here?)

A Reminder
 
 
With the long vacation coming up, you might want to review the Hunt page on technology so your children's ipad use.
 
Also, here's the link to our new "HMS Digital Learning" section of our school's website:

 


We've posted some information and resources for students, families and staff here regarding our 1 to 1 program.


There is also a link to our YouTube channel entitled "Lyman C. Hunt Middle School Digital Stories" where a growing number of stories about our school and our work with educational technology and other efforts may be found.

This section of our website may also be accessed by clicking on the 5th tab from the top on the left-hand side of our school's main page.
