Don't forget that there is no school for students on Monday, February 17th. Enjoy the long weekend and we'll see everyone on Tuesday!
Cedar Shoals Counselors Coming to Hilsman Thursday
The counselors from Cedar Shoals will be in all science classes this Thursday, February 20th to help students begin the process of picking their classes for next year! Current Cedar Shoals students from the peer leadership class will be there as well to help provide extra insight and answer questions that our 8th graders may have.
HilsMART
Hilsman Middle School PTO would like to invite you to participate in our first ever HilsMART, a yard sale, vendor, and talent show extravaganza! On SATURDAY, FEB 29 from 10am-2pm in the Hilsman cafeteria and halls.
SIGN UP to rent a table ($15 pre-pay or $20 day of event - register by Feb. 21). Bring YOUR stuff (yard sale items, crafts, art, etc.) and sell them and KEEP ALL THE PROCEEDS. Your trash is another's treasure! Clean out or share your wares while supporting the mission of the Hilsman PTO - to enhance school spirit, support teachers and staff, and raise funds for student-focused initiatives like our new student leadership council.
Everyone in the community is welcome to rent a table (8 ft.) or come shop. We will have food vendors and entertainment. Set up begins at 8am - doors open at 10am. Students who attend will receive a coupon for a dress-down day! We also welcome business sponsors. Questions? Email HilsmanPTO@gmail.com.
Field Trip Opportunity!
8th grade students in Clarke County will have a chance to visit the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and the Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration in Montgomery, Alabama. The field trip will take place on 3/19/20 from about 7am-8pm and will be completely funded by a grant and private donations. Students will apply through video responses using this FlipGrid, and a committee of school and district staff will choose 10 "winners" from each middle school. The deadline to submit responses is 2/21/20!
