8th Grade Students and Parents,
HMS has a tradition called Farewell Flowers. All 8th graders will be allowed to participate in this event on May 12 during the school day. Each 8th grader will receive ONE flower and a tag. On the tag, students are asked to write a note to the adult at HMS that helped them BLOOM while in middle school. This can be to any adult at HMS - teacher, para, lunch lady, bus driver, office staff, custodian, counselor, or admin. Students will then be allowed to present their tag and flower to their adult. It is such a sweet time for the students and the adults.
Students will not have long for this activity. We are putting this on your radar now, so students can begin thinking about which adult at HMS they want to give their flower to.
If you have questions about this activity, please reach out to Mrs. Sanchez at Ashley.Sanchez@BossierSchools.org.

We understand that May is a BUSY month. Often times it is hard to keep up with everything going on. We hope this snapshot helps provide you with some key dates for HMS. Please understand we try very hard not to interfere with other events happening in our community, but sometimes events do overlap.
Please note:
- This is not every event - it is a snapshot of the BIGGER events!
- Our assembly times have changed. They will begin at 12:30.
- More information about these events will come out as we get closer to the dates.
