HMS Connection

These students stood out among their peers over the past month by consistently working hard, treating others with kindness, and demonstrating leadership skills both in and out of the classroom.

We are very proud of them!

The eighth grade students who are traveling to Washington DC in May were recently given a roommate request form, which is due on Tuesday January 21, 2025. A copy of this form is attached below.

Each form is required to have a parent/guardian approve and sign it. If your student is traveling, this must be completed and turned in on Tuesday.

Please contact Mr. McCulloch at mmcculloch@hinghamschools.org with any questions or concerns.

Grade Seven Floor Hockey action continues with the Championship Game scheduled for Thursday, January 23.

Are you looking for something different to do after school?

Why not join us for some “fun and games” after school on Thursday, January 30 for the first meeting of our new Board Game Group?

Students are invited to join us in the cafeteria afterschool to hang out with friends and have some “low-tech” fun, while enjoying a little friendly competition.

No phones. No Chromebooks. No internet, Just fun with friends!

We plan to meet on the last Thursday of the month, so if you’re unable to make it this time, watch for more information on our next meeting.

There is no need to sign up in advance, just meet us in the cafeteria after school.

To help get this group off the ground, we are looking for donations of any used board games you might have at home. Games should be in “good” to “like new” condition, have all the pieces needed for game play, and most importantly, the directions! Donations can be sent to Mr. Smith in the main office.
