8th Grade Shout Out
HUGE congratulations are in order for Lilly McGreevy and Chloe Smith, who made Hilsman proud by presenting their project at the National FFA Agriscience Fair in Indianapolis, Indiana this past week! Lilly and Chloe placed 2nd in the nation in the Plant Sciences division. Well done, ladies!
Thanksgiving Food Drive
The Food Pantry at Hilsman Middle School is planning a Thanksgiving Food Drive to benefit students and their families. We will start food collection November 13th - November 20th. Right now, we will be collecting in the cafeteria & car rider line during the morning, and we will gave drop-off boxes throughout the school. We will be accepting perishable and nonperishable food items, but we suggest contacting our AmeriCorp Vista, Ms. Charlie Evans, before donating large amounts of perishable food items (772-207-6036). In addition, students can receive a free dress down day if they donate 5 or more items. (The details on how to keep track of this are still being worked out, but we will update ASAP!)
