GOOD AFTERNOON HMS FAMILIES:
The first four days of school in the new year are in the books. We hope everyone was able to enjoy the long break with family and friends. As we head into the weekend, the weather continues to yo-yo up and down. Saturday and Sunday temperatures are expected to be in the high 30’s to low 40’s which is more typical for this time of year.
Please take a few minutes to review the below updates and reminders:
