As we continue to recognize No Name-Calling Week, we hope that many of you are wearing HMS school colors to show that "HMS is United Against Name-Calling." You will also observe the trash can on the stage in the cafeteria, filled with hurtful words to visualize that Name Calling is a Waste! Tomorrow, all are encouraged to wear mismatched socks or clothing to show that "HMS Celebrates Differences!" And start thinking about ideas for the NNCW contest - remember, teams have TWO options to choose from to create a message about respect: either make a team video or decorate your homeroom doors. We will award the Raider Cup to two winning teams!
Have you lost something? The Lost and Found bins in the Main Office are overflowing!

Today’s Wellness Wednesday’s Message is- Got Milk?
Did you know that by the age of 17, you will have already established more than 75% of your adult bone mass? When you get enough calcium during your teen years, you can start out your adult lives with strong bones and significantly reduce your risk of fractures as you get older. However, according to recent statistics, 9 out of 10 teenage girls and 7 out of 10 teenage boys do NOT get enough calcium in their diet.
Milk, whether white or chocolate- is an excellent source of Calcium and 8 other essential nutrients that help you grow into strong and healthy adults. Just one, 8 ounce glass of milk supplies ⅓ of a teenager’s recommended daily calcium intake. So, next time you go to grab a soda, juice, sweetened ice tea or gatorade, Rethink your drink, and choose milk!
The debate club will meet today after school in the library media center. Please go to your lockers before you arrive and make sure you have a ride home promptly at 4:15.
The National Geography Club will meet Friday morning before school.
