🌈There's no place like home — and no week like Homecoming! 🏴☠️❤
We are so excited for Homecoming next week!! Here is the list of dress up days chosen by HHS Student Council. 🎉

In Mr. Wellman's 7th grade science, Alyssa Hall stretched her thinking to compare an atom to a carnival.
An atom is like a carnival because there are so many different things moving around. For example, the electrons and valance electrons move around like the rides of a carnival. The nucleus is like all the people because at carnivals some people are really happy, positive protons. Some people are just there and don't really have an emotion, neutral neutron.

How are you inspired by America?
This is the theme for the 2023-2024 Patriot's Pen Youth Essay Contest. See the link for more information.
