The Weekly Highlander
Volume #25
A Message from the Principal
What a fantastic week to be a Highlander! We had Volleyball finals at Momentus Sports Center, Knight at the Museum in the Activity Center, and PTA Sponsored Fun Friday. You can see photos and reels of these events on Instagram and Facebook.
Next week is conference week, we will have minimum days on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. On each of these minimum days, breakfast will be served before school. Wednesday is a regular late start with first period starting at 9:15 am. On Wednesday, our counseling team will host the Breakfast Club at 8:30 am in the MPR, all students are welcome to attend. On Wednesday, Hewes PTA is sponsoring an incredible assembly from the BMX Stunt Team. They will show us their incredible athletic abilities and focus on delivering an anti-bullying message to our campus. We are so appreciative of our Hewes PTA sponsorship of this event.
