Breakfast at HMS is served each morning, Monday through Friday, from 7:45 AM to 8:25 AM.
School breakfasts play a big role in helping kids get the nutrition they need to learn, grow, and be healthy. The School Nutrition and Meal Cost Study* showed that school breakfast is a big supplier of foods most kids don’t eat enough of—whole grains, fruits, and dairy. The study also found that kids who eat school breakfast eat more of these foods than kids who eat breakfast elsewhere.
Kids also learn how to have a healthy eating pattern at school breakfast. These healthy habits can help kids grow into healthy adults that have lower risks of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease. Learn more about school breakfast at: TeamNutrition.USDA.gov.
The 3rd Graders in Mrs. Schimmer's class have been busy creating their own reader's theater scripts based on Nicolaus Copernicus and what he observed about space!
This year, HMS Elementary adopted a new ELA curriculum and we are loving how it ties in other content areas into our reading block!
The 4th Graders in Mrs. Dokter's room are busy collaborating to come up with an invention to help rid the floor of garbage. The goal is to have the garbage end up in the garbage can.
Congratulations to the 7th & 8th grade girls on completing their basketball seasons last night. Saw a lot of growth and development from this group this year. Appreciated all the effort and hard work that was put in. Nice job!
