Wishing all of our students, staff, and families an incredible summer!
Our last days were all about learning and growing, and celebrating each other! From honoring the OMLA Teaching Team of the Year!!!, to exploring the local parks, to sharing in a Talent Show, to laughing and relaxing with Goat Yoga, to Powerball vocabulary competitions, to writing a letter to a future student, to celebrating our 8th graders in their Awards Assemblies...THANK YOU students and staff, for an incredible year together! We wish you the VERY BEST summer!!
Our incredible PE Teaching Team of Mr. Halm, Mrs. Haney, and Mr. Prokopovich has been named the “OMLA Ohio Teaching Team of the Year” for the entire state of Ohio! They’ll be honored at the state conference in the fall - today they learned of this honor through a surprise celebration and a CLAP OUT throughout the building! Congratulations, PE team - an honor SO deserved!!
We loved celebrating our 8th graders during their award ceremonies! The Class of 2029 is quite impressive, and certainly ready for a successful transition to HHS next fall! We are so proud of you all and excited for your future - such incredible times ahead!
