Many thanks to @CentralSquareSD flag football team for reading to our students at HME, and stressing to our students the importance of being good citizens in school and out in our community!

A proud parent ⁦@CentralSquareSD⁩ just sent me this video of his daughter graduating from the Culinary Institute of America. Our goal for students is not just that they graduate high school, but are prepared for whatever pathway they select beyond high school. Redhawk Pride

Mr. Hurne and our 5th grade chorus spread a little holiday cheer at HME today.

Lynn Dowler, our Teachers’ Union President, and CSMS veteran science teacher @CentralSquareSD definitely turned heads when the middle school buses rolled into the middle school this morning. Lol. She has been putting smiles on students’ faces for many years.

Amazing holiday concert put on tonight by the HME band and chorus. Happy holidays to all!

HME's 4th grade Art Club created some spooky and festive neon pumpkins that glow under the black lights. Our kids @CentralSquareSD are so talented! Thanks to Mrs. Wood for always inspiring our young artists.

Fire Prevention Day was a huge success at HME. Many thanks to members of the Hastings and West Monroe Fire Departments for volunteering their time to educate our students!

Great day of food and friends at the A.A. Cole end-of-year staff cookout! Thanks to my wonderful staff for making this event so memorable. Also, congrats to our retirees who were honored at the luncheon.

Tuesday is World Autism Awareness Day. Having a son on the autism spectrum has shown me that there are no obstacles that can stand in my son’s way that would prevent him from a highly rewarding, successful life, however, early intervention is the KEY! https://t.co/IwMHsUef7x

People that drive past a parked school bus with its lights on and stop sign out should immediately lose their license for 1 year. No one is in that much of a hurry to potentially kill a child. https://t.co/1imbujnU8U

A.A. Cole 5th grade students worked hard on "Cloud in a Bottle," a NYS science investigation, this week. It's great to see kids engaged in hands-on science activities at the elementary level.
