Greetings SHMS community!
It was great to have five full days of classes last week and we are hoping that Tuesday's wintry weather does not disrupt our schedule or momentum moving forward. Congratulations to both SHMS basketball teams who made the playoffs and hosted home games last week. Unfortunately, neither team advanced after a pair tough matchups. We are especially proud of our 8th graders on both teams who have helped to build and sustain competitive programs in both boys and girls basketball.
Last week we inducted more than 50 additional students into the Stuart-Hobson MS chapter of the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS). We are so proud of this group of students for their commitment to upholding incredible character while achieving academic excellence. We hope that even more students can join during next year's application, recruitment, and selection process. Also, as it was also School Counselor Appreciation Week, I want to thank our fantastic school counselors, Ms. Schimmerling and Ms. Wilson, who are also the NJHS sponsors. Thank you both for your efforts to support students and families, we are lucky to have you in our Panther family!
We re excited to host prospective families for our final in-person open house event before the lottery application deadline for Pre-K 3 - 8th grade at the end of the month. We always appreciate having current families and students in the audience to mingle and answer questions during tours, so please join us if you are interested and available.
Let's have a great week of school before the upcoming four-day weekend for students!
