GOOD AFTERNOON HMS FAMILIES:

The first full week of school was a success. No disruptions to the schedule. This weekend’s weather looks to be less humid with temperatures in the 70s. There is a chance of rain Friday night into Saturday morning. On the sports side of things, the New York NFL teams are 1 and 1 for the season. Fingers crossed that both teams play well this weekend.
