The boys lacrosse team traveled to Auburn on Friday and played a very talented team. Despite the boys best efforts they were handed their first loss of the season. Landon O once again stood on his head in net and kept the boys in the game. Hunter E received the Ground Ball Award for his play at LSM and defense while Devan D received the Game Ball Award for his efforts winning faceoffs.

Students in preschool through grade four had the opportunity to investigate soil last week with the week long visit of the Soil Tent. The Soil Tent is a traveling STEAM educational exhibit that combines hands-on GLOBE science activities centered around the layers of the soil and a ten-by-ten pop-up tent with murals depicting students’ observations of their local soil ecosystems. The tent was developed by the NH GLOBE Team, the USDA Forest Service, and the Northern Arts Alliance. Thank you to Mrs. Wisecarver for facilitating the Soil Tent at HCS again this year!
Today HMS will be standing for a change. This is how our Anti-bullying club greeted us today.
