We are beyond excited to announce that our band has QUALIFIED FOR STATE at the Willamette Valley Band Festival held at Lane Community College! They earned the highest score they have ever received this early in the season!

Huge shoutout to our incredible musicians, director, and supporters—your hard work and dedication are paying off!

High school students took time to read to our elementary students, and the impact is incredible! Seeing the little ones light up as they listen, ask questions, and engaged with their mentors is a powerful reminder of how reading brings people together!

This simple act of storytelling not only fosters a love for books but also builds confidence, leadership, and connection between students of all ages.

Ms. Moore’s English 12 Class Brings Macbeth to Life Through Comics! 🎭📖

Shakespeare meets superheroes (and villains!) in Ms. Moore’s English class as students create their own comic book adaptations of Macbeth!

From tragic heroes to epic battles, students are using creativity and critical thinking to reimagine the classic play in a whole new way. Stay tuned for some incredible artwork and storytelling!

Here are some fun examples of math limericks that our 6th grade class wrote on St. Patrick's Day.

This past week, Gino and the Lone Gunmen came to perform for HLMS and Ocean Crest students as part of the Clambake Music Festival's "Music in the Schools" program. Our students had a blast and even learned a little about music theory.

HLMS will be holding a STEM fair on April 25th for all students. It is an optional opportunity for 6th-8th graders. All 5th graders are participating. The top 3 projects in each grade level will qualify for the Regional STEM Fair held on May 9th at the Coos Curry Electric Coop in Port Orford. Please encourage interested students to chat with Mrs. Kraynik about ideas, materials, ect.

This past week our 5th graders went to Charleston Marine Center to learn about our local Marine Ecosystems.

There is a permission slip needed to participate in the club. Please pick one up in the office if you are interested!

Please take the time to check your Parent Vue account on a regular bases. It is a great way to help your student(s) keep track of grades and assignments, as well as a convenient way to communicate with their teachers. You can access your account by clicking on the black bar above, or you can download the APP in your APP store so you can save your log in information and access your account quickly from your phone.

All of our students should have signed a behavior agreement form that acknowledges that they have reviewed the student handbook, and know what the behavior expectations are at HLMS. We would appreciate it if you could take a moment to review the student hand book (link below) as well.

Just a reminder, students are not allowed to have cell phones out during school hours. We require them to be kept off and in their locker or backpack during the day. This includes breaks and at lunch. Please encourage your student to come to the office or their teachers if they have a concern or need help instead of reaching out to you via cell phone during the day. This way we can help make sure that all your student's needs are being met. We have a student phone available in the commons that is always available.

Spring conferences are upon us and will be held Thursday, April 17th (8:00am-8:00pm) and Friday, April 18th (8:00am-12:00 noon). Your 20 minute conference can be in-person or a phone call. Please indicate your top three time blocks for scheduling and your preferred format. You will be contacted via Seesaw on Friday, April 11th with your assigned time. Please complete the form as soon as possible, no later than 12noon on Friday, April 4th. Slots will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.

Valley Flora wanted to alert you to a few new programs that we - and other NW farms - are spearheading in in order to make fresh, local produce more accessible to low income families in our community. We’re trying to get the word out as widely as possible. If you have a spot to hang a poster (attached below), or room for a mention in your next newsletter, that would be wonderful! We are happy to provide you with a color-printed poster, just let us know! Also, please feel free to forward this email to anyone in your networks who would benefit from knowing about these programs.

• Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB): a program that helps low-income Oregonians purchase more fruits and vegetables while supporting local, family farms. Folks with SNAP benefits can purchase one of our farm’s community supported agriculture (CSA) shares and DUFB will provide 1:1 matching funds (they pay half the cost of the CSA with SNAP and DUFB covers the other half). It's a win-win that strengthens our community by providing better access to fresh, healthy food while helping local farmers earn a living.

• CSA Sliding Scale: our farm is offering a voluntary sliding scale payment system in order to make our food more accessible to everyone in the community. It’s been a beautiful example of community - and humanity - at its best.
