[HMHS News] Hawk News week of Jan 12

[Steven Chamberlin]

HOPKINTON MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL MISSION

We foster a learning environment that is safe, supportive, and  
respectful.
We promote personal integrity, intellectual curiosity, and civic
responsibility.  We provide traditional and innovative opportunities  
for students to maximize their potential.

Mid term exams for high school students are right around the corner.   
January 24h and 25th are set for Day 1 exams and on January 28th &  
29th Day 2 exams will be administered.  The second semester for the  
high school will start on January 30th.

In an attempt to minimize the financial burden of the district we are  
requiring that students satisfy their obligations prior to taking mid  
term exams.  As stated in the Middle and High School Handbook for  
Students and Parents, “All financial obligations must be fulfilled  
before a student can take their final or mid term exams.  Students  
who do not fulfill their financial obligation(s) before mid term  
exams, will serve Saturday Educations until their obligation(s) are  
met.  Students who do not fulfill their financial obligation(s) by  
June 1st, 2008 will not be allowed to take their final exams until  
the last day of school and will serve Saturday Education until the  
end of school.”

Students will be put on a financial obligation list for the following  
reasons:

1)    Lost or misplaced textbooks

2)    Unpaid lunch charges

3)    Unreturned library books, magazines or materials


On Friday, January 18, 2008, the Interact Club will be hosting a  
dance in the auditorium from 7:30 PM – 10:30 PM.  Tickets cost $5.00  
and the proceeds go to “Hands to Honduras.”

Auditions for the high school spring musical “Grease” will take place  
on Monday evening, January 14, 2008, from 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM in the  
auditorium.

Recycle your Christmas tree – Cub Scout Pac 77 will pick it up!

IT'S THAT TIME...

Now that you're ready to take down your Christmas tree, wouldn't you  
like to do your part for the environment and for our local Cub Scout  
Pack 77? Hire us to pick it up and recycle it! It's easy. First, pull  
those lights and ornaments off and drag the tree out front. Then call  
Mark at 344-5553 to schedule a pickup. Just a $5 donation and you  
don't have to deal with getting it onto your car and to the dump. AND  
you help out Pack 77 and the environment (we turn them into wood  
chips). What could be simpler? Don't wait until March. Call now.
