Another busy day of spring athletic contests today! Today's picture is of our 7th grade Baseball team hosting Tripp Middle School at Bennett Field.
Last night, our 6th Grade Acapella Choir filmed a music video at Sandy Point Beach on Cousins Island. They were filmed by 11 hard-working and patient high school volunteers.
For 2.5 hours, the choir sang again and again in various locations and formations. They were filmed running, walking, playing, and dancing with flashlights.
The video is scheduled to be completed in the fall.
Thank you to everyone who helped support this effort, and in particular, our Chorus teacher, Ms. Grover!

Our 8th graders hosted a successful Young Athletes Festival on Friday. YAF is an annual event co-sponsored with Special Olympics of Maine that provides young athletes from southern Maine with a variety of activities on Winslow Fields. Our 8th graders supported the young athletes through the activities and celebrated with them. Many thanks to the 8th-grade team of teachers for their efforts in organizing this important event!
It's time for our Spring Jazz Concert!

HMS students, under the tutelage of Rod Corey, our STEAM teacher, created three public works of art that have been installed throughout the town of Yarmouth in celebration of World Fish Migration Day tomorrow. The artwork pictured here is located on Memorial Green in front of Town Hall. Many thanks to Rod Corey, grade-level teachers, and our students for their efforts!
Our spring sports season is in full bloom.

Pictured is our seventh-grade softball team in their win yesterday over Whittier Middle School.
Our 6th-Grade Spring Concert is about to begin!

We have published authors here at HMS! Several 7th and 8th-grade students, working with Ms. Robson, have self-published novellas. They are so much fun to read!
Our students experienced our annual Career Day today at HMS! We welcomed over 30 professionals for the event, and students had an opportunity to learn in four different presentations. We want to thank Rebecca Spear, Volunteer Program Director, and Catherine Nein, HMS School Counselor, for all of their help making this event happen!
Yesterday, Ms. Utz and Ms. Hunter's seventh-grade French classes participated in a collaborative experience with Ms. Navarro's Advanced Conversation Class at YHS. Ms. Navarro's students performed mini-concerts of Manie Musicale songs they had learned to both sing and play on instruments made from recyclable materials. What a blast to have both present and former students engaging, learning, and having fun together!
Good afternoon. Moments ago there was a hold in place initiated at Yarmouth High School, as officers from the Yarmouth Police Department were searching for an unknown suspect in the woods near the school. The hold in place has been lifted as the situation has been resolved peacefully, and it has been determined that no students or community members were in danger at any point.
Enjoy the vacation week!
Central Maine Power has informed us that a sliced cable at their worksite is the cause of a disruption to internet and phone service at Rowe School in Yarmouth. Repairs are being made, and we are hopeful service will be restored by tomorrow. We have installed mobile hot spots in the office at Rowe School, making email with the office the best option for communicating with the school. You can email Miriam Epstein (miriam_epstein@yarmouthschools.org) if needed. Thank you for your patience!
We had so much fun at the Battle of the Books event on Thursday night in the HMS Library. Five teams, spanning all three grade levels, demonstrated their deep knowledge of this year's forty Maine State Book Award books. Thank you to Ms. Burrows, Ms. Robson, and Ms. Burgess for organizing the event, and to our Language Arts teachers for supporting it. Congratulations to all who participated!
Congratulations to Leanna Deterding, who represented HMS at the Portland Museum of Art’s Youth Art Month Show this spring!

Special thanks to Mr. Hickey, our esteemed Art teacher, for his support of Leanna and all of our student-artists.
