We’ve been loving the holiday cheer around HMS! Yesterday, our halls were full of festive fun with Ugly Christmas Sweater Day—the brighter, bolder, and sillier, the better! 🎅🧶
Today we wrapped up the week with Blue Christmas Friday, as students and staff proudly Christmas-ized their Hemlock gear and showed off their Husky pride in true holiday style 💙🎄
Thank you to everyone who joined in and helped make our school feel extra merry and bright. Check out these great pics of our spirited Huskies! 📸🐾

🦑🔬 Science in Action at the Middle School! 🔬🦑
Our 8th-grade students dove into hands-on learning during a squid dissection lab in Mrs. Slominski's class! Students practiced basic dissection skills while exploring squid anatomy and making real-world connections to our Salmon in the Classroom (SIC) program.
Squid are an important food source for Chinook salmon, which our students are raising from eggs to fry stage right here at school. Through SIC, students learn about life cycles, ecosystems, conservation, and stewardship—all while connecting science and math to an authentic environmental project.
Experiences like this bring learning to life and help students understand how interconnected our aquatic ecosystems truly are. Great work, 8th graders! 👏🌊🐟
