Mr. English’s Weblog

HKMS Community Members,
Attached is the February Newsletter.  Click on the tab above or to your right.  Enjoy.  There’s a great writeup on the Haiti fundraiser.  It was a lot of fun.  Enjoy.

~Mr. English

HKMS Community,

I hope that you had a great week.  On Monday we will reveal the monetary sum that we collected for Haiti.  All I can say is that so far it’s VERY impressive.  Thank you for contributing to this very important relief fund.  This district is wonderful in how it supports the school and world communities.  Thank you for your efforts.

Tonight is the 5/6th grade Activity Night:  3-5pm  and the 7/8th grade dance:  7-9pm.  For the 7-9pm dance, please have the boys refrain from bringing their hats.  We’re asking all students at that time to dress business casual at least.

Have a wonderful weekend.  The February newsletter is being drafted and will available soon.

Dear HKMS Community,

HKMS will be holding a HIATI Disaster Relief collection on Friday of this week (1/29/10).  All staff and students will be asked to wear RED on this day (a primary color of Hiati’s flag).     Students are encouraged to bring at least a dollar, but any amount can be submitted.  If you want to send a check, make the check out to the HKMS Activity Fund.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.  If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call or email.

Sincerely,

~Mr. English

Attention all Students and Parents,

The December 2009 Blue and Gold Pages are now available on this weblog.  You will now be able to access the school newspaper each term in a .pdf file format.  Simply click on the “HKMS Newspaper” tab above, and then click on the student newspaper edition that you want to read.   I apologize for the delay in getting this feature up and running.  The December edition is phenomenal!  The best thing about this document is that it’s all written and edited by the students in our Newspaper Club.  A special thanks goes out to Ms. Greene, who facilitated the students in creating such an excellent product.  Please feel free to download and read this document at your leisure.  Have a wonderful week.

HKMS community,

Happy Friday!  I hope you enjoyed the delay this morning.

I sent home a honeywell message yesterday to remind you to visit this site once a week.  If you come to the site on the weekend, you’ll be sure to receive all of the pertinent information for the week.  The monthly newsletters and club brochures are located on the tabs at the top of the blog.  You can also post comments on any of the posts.  The comments DO NOT SHOW UP ON THE INTERNET!  They go straight to my email before any comment is posted.  This makes the comment process completely secure.  I will try to check the blog every night between 7 and 8pm.  This gives you a direct line to me at anytime.  Students can use this blog to report any school issue that is bothering them.  Thank you for your interest in your kids lives!  Have a wonderful weekend.

~Mr. English

Happy 2010!

Club brochures went out before the break.  There are copies on the Club Brochures tab on this weblog.  CLUB PERMISSION SLIPS ARE DUE on Friday, January 8, 2010.  That’s THIS Friday, so fill those out.

If your child is interested in the SKI TRIPS, then money ($54.00 for both trips) and waivers are due by WEDNESDAY of this week.  I went on the news this morning to announce it.

Have a great week, and let’s get those  kids involved after school!

Talk to you soon.
