Hey, HMS, have you been wondering what's the deal with pronouns lately? Everyone deserves to be respected for who they are, which includes their gender identity, but it can get confusing. Mrs. Mahler, your Student Assistance Counselor, will hold listening sessions for students to hear your thoughts and feelings on this topic. The first session will take place at 7:45 AM tomorrow in Room B-12. Email Mrs. Mahler with any questions.
As we continue to celebrate Red Ribbon Week here at HMS, tomorrow is WEAR RED DAY! The first homeroom in each grade with 100% participation to email a photo of everyone wearing red will receive prizes. The answer to yesterday's trivia question was: VAPING:
Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine found that among young people tested for COVID-19, those who vaped were 5 to 7 x more likely to be infected than those who did not vape. The following students knew the answer:
1. Steven Blanco
2. Ritisha Ghosh
3. Katie Edmonds
4. Lia La Valva
5. Richard Brameyer
Please report to the counseling office in the ANNEX to pick up your Dunkin Donuts gift card. Today's question is: What chemical is released during exercise that elevates mood and decreases pain, in other words, creates a “natural high?” To answer the question, go to the trivia link on the HMS website. Five more winners will be announced tomorrow.
Attention HMS student-athletes:
With the fall season about to wrap up, this is an important reminder to figure out your afternoon bus number and its location. Please check your email to find a bus map. You can identify your bus number by looking at your schedule in Genesis. Any questions, please ask your homeroom teacher or check in with the main or annex offices.
