The HMS FBLA club attended the United Fall Leadership Conference November 13th and 14th in Des Moines. This conference was attended by over 900 students and advisors. Joining FBLA at the conference this year was BPA and DECA organizations. The theme for the year is Amplify.
We joined Sheldon’s FBLA club for dinner and met Shenandoah BPA at the restaurant as well.
Members attending were: junior Alexis Grover, sophomore Skyler Shaffer, and freshmen Owen Tifft, Trannetta Hayes, and Reyna Tamayo.
Siouxland AG came to talk to the Second graders about the market pig growth and the importance of pigs in Iowa’s agriculture. The students got to see a real pig heart!

For the past few weeks the Preschool classes were working on a Creative Curriculum study on spheres. The students experimented with different types of round objects to decide if they could bounce, roll, and if they were solid or hollow. To celebrate the end of their study, both preschool classes went bowling in Sanborn! Thank you to the Sanborn Bowling Alley for hosting our celebration!

The O’Brien County Naturalist, Hootin’ Hannah, came to the HMS Kindergarten and TK classrooms and gave a lesson on how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs. Students were able to act like beavers and build dams from clay and sticks.
Compete for a Cure! Yes, our annual cancer awareness event was held at HMS Elementary on Friday and it was an awesome day! I can’t say enough about our staff and students ! They have the biggest hearts ever! ❤️. Not only were we creating an awareness about this awful disease but we were also having this event for our friend Adam Burns. Adam is a graduate of HMS and he has been fighting brain cancer. While fighting cancer, Adam and his family created the “Compete for a Cure” foundation.
HMS students and staff raised $2,440.42!! The money given to this foundation helps other families who have been affected by cancer and will also help doctors develop new treatments for cancer. A special thanks to Mrs. Prins for planning and carrying out this amazing event!
No One Fights Cancer Alone!
