Hello Parents and Guardians of Herndon Magnet School Students, this is Tom Thomas, Principal of Herndon Magnet School with Herndon Highlights for the week of April 17, 2023.
• I want to thank everyone who supported the HMS PTSA Boosterthon by donating or volunteering at the event. I want to thank the PTSA Executive Board for all the hours they put in to make this a success. Because of you, we exceeded our goal of $10,000, and all the students who participated in the Fun Run and Color Run had a great time. Once the final tally is done, we will let you know the final amount that was raised from your generous donations.
• This week is Staff Appreciation Week at Herndon. It is not too late to volunteer. If you would like to help in any capacity, a Google Form will be sent out later today.
• Girls who signed up for HMS Cheer Team will participate in cheer camp Monday, April 17 through Thursday, April 20, and tryouts will be Friday, April 21.
• ArtBreak is this week, and we have many groups participating, performing, or volunteering in some form or fashion. The 2nd and 3rd graders will travel to ArtBreak on Tuesday, April 18. Any 2nd or 3rd grader who purchased an ArtBreak t-shirt may wear it Tuesday.
• Fourth nine weeks progress reports will come home Wednesday, April 19. Please sign and return to your child’s homeroom teacher.
• The HMS boys’ and girls’ track team members who qualified for the Caddo Middle School Championship will compete on Wednesday, April 19, at 5:00 PM. The Track & Field Championship is at Lee Hedges, and the $7.00tickets must be purchased at locallevelevents.com.
