New Round of School Clubs 

We are pleased to share that whole school clubs are back. Students will once again have the opportunity to participate in engaging, 45-minute curricular-connected club sessions during school hours. This round, all students from Grade 1 to Grade 6 will explore a variety of activities, including fitness, creating comics, trivia, board games & mini games, riddles/puzzles and Lego,and more 

During club time, students will be reassigned to teachers based on their chosen interest. This school-wide initiative is designed to foster connections, strengthen relationships, and enhance our students’ sense of belonging. 

To show school spirit on club days, students are encouraged to wear their HMS t-shirt or any blue shirt. We look forward to another meaningful round of learning and exploration. 

Eye See…Eye Learn – Free Eye Exams for Kindergarten Students 

Good vision is so important for learning! Through Alberta’s Eye See…Eye Learn program, all kindergarten students can get a free eye exam, and if they need glasses, those are free too. 

It’s an easy way to make sure your child is seeing their best as they start school. Learn more and find a participating optometrist at optometrists.ab.ca/esel. There is also a flyer linked on the right sidebar.

Toonies for Terry!

Let’s fill our buckets with toonies (and loonies too!) to support cancer research. Every coin helps keep Terry’s dream alive. Bring your donation on run day and let’s see how much we can raise together!
