Bullying Prevention Month
October is Bullying Prevention Month and October 16th is Unity Day! We are asking that all students wear orange to signify that we are united in our mission to create a safe and supportive building for all students at HMS. During lunch students will be offered the opportunity to sign a banner that will be posted in our building to commit to the cause!
Students and staff can wear blue each Thursday this month to continue our unified stance to support positive behaviors at HMS.
If you would like to learn more about bullying and ways to support your child, please follow this link to PACER's resources.
