I am excited to share the success of our first schoolwide club day last Friday! It was a wonderful time that showcased our students’ talents, interests, and the vibrant community spirit we have here at Holly Ridge Middle School.
Students engaged in a variety of activities, exploring new hobbies and building connections with their peers. It was heartwarming to see so many enthusiastic participants and the creativity on display.
A special thank you goes to Ms. Dewitt and our dedicated teachers who organized, advised, and supported our clubs. Their commitment to fostering a nurturing, inclusive, and engaging environment for our students truly made this day a success. And I would also like to say a special thank you to our students for their collaboration and enthusiastic participation!
We look forward to our next club day on December 13th and appreciate your ongoing support!
The first quarter will end on Thursday, October 31, 2024. As a result, Friday, November 1st will be a teacher workday. There will be no school for students. Report cards will be distributed on Friday, November 8th. Please be sure to ask your student for their report card.
In preparation for our Pep Rally on November 6th, we invite all students to participate in our Spirit Week the week of November 4-8, 2024. Please see HRMS Spirit Week: November 4-8, 2024 for additional details.
Holly Ridge Middle School Bee Prepared for the Spelling Bee -
➔ All students may participate in their classroom spelling bee. Social Studies teachers will
schedule a classroom spelling bee during the week of November 4th. One student in each
classroom will become their classroom spelling bee champion! These students will move
on to the school-wide, in-person spelling bee Wednesday evening, December 4, 2025.
➔ Study the word lists before your classroom spelling bee! Word lists will be available electronically. Paper copies can be made available from Mrs. Brown in the library and Mrs. Stallings room.
Study Tips:
First, students are encouraged to study grade level words. If grade level words are mastered,
students should continue to study higher grade level words. In a spelling round, the speller must pronounce the word before and after spelling it. The speller may ask the pronouncer to say the word again, define it, use it in a sentence, provide the part of speech, provide the language(s) of origin, and/or provide an alternate pronunciation.
