On Wednesday, the HMES SCA officers met via teams with the SCA officers from each school in our division, Dr. Catlett, and Dr. Eberhardt to discuss good things and areas for improvement within each building.
It was a great leadership opportunity, as well as a learning and sharing opportunity.

Mrs.Lewis did an enrichment lesson with Ms. Bland's class. They discussed different types of farms and the different boots you would wear on the farm to do various jobs. Then students designed their own boots after deciding which kind of farm they would use their boots on.
