HAMS track is at Westville today for County! Let's go Cornjerkers!
Best of luck to our HAMS bowlers at the State Tournament today. The following students will be competing: Camilla and Xander Linder, Jackson Silver, AJ Pickett, & Waylon Page. We are cheering from afar!
Students in the HAMS Life Skills Class got the opportunity to attend the Best Buddies International Walk in Champaign. Each student got to choose a friend to attend with them! Best Buddies International is a nonprofit that supports inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities! These students had a blast!
On Wednesday, HAMS History of War students visited the Vermilion County War Museum in Danville, IL. Throughout the tour, students were able to view various artifacts from each U.S. conflict. The knowledge gained from this type of experience can not be duplicated in the classroom setting and we are excited to offer these opportunities for our students.
Please enjoy the April issue of the Cornjerker Times from Mrs. Lee's Newspaper class at Hoopeston Area Middle school.
Mrs. Mac's Middle School Life Skills class got to go down to Coach Root's room and help screen print their t-shirts for tomorrow! Thank you Coach Root and Mrs. Ankenbrand for assisting us with this project!
Mrs. Mac's Life Skills Class tie-dyed t-shirts today with their Best Buddies for the Best Buddies Walk later on this week! Best Buddies International envisions a world where people with Intellectual Disabilities are so successfully integrated into schools, workplaces, and communities that its current efforts and services will be unnecessary. Some super fun events are coming up for this group and we are so excited!
Ms. Kennedy's 7th grade science class investigated how temperatures affect air density using a solar balloon today in class.

Today, students in Mrs. Lee’s 8th Grade Honors ELA class presented a poetry gallery walk, in which students showcased their best work from their current poetry unit.
Families and teachers also were invited to enjoy, as well as cast their votes for the top three poems (which absolutely wasn’t an easy task).
