HMS News

GOOD AFTERNOON HMS FAMILIES:

This weekend’s weather is looking more like a yo-yo going up and down. After having temperatures near 50 yesterday, the forecast for tonight into tomorrow is a mix of weather. The coast may see a coating of snow while other parts of the state may see 2 to 4 inches of snow (border of MA area), and the central part of the state could see sleet. On a different note, the Yankees’ top prospect, Anthony Volpe, is making a good case for why he should be the starting shortstop this season. He’s doing well in the field and his bat has come alive in Spring training as he recently hit a homerun. As for the Amazing Mets, their young prospect, Brett Baty, has come to camp ready to shine. He’s batting .500 with 4 RBIs this Spring. 

Please take a few minutes to review the below updates and reminders:
