It’s Jazz Night at HMS!
Many thanks to the Yarmouth PTO for organizing the 2023 Glow Run. Our students had a great time today! The funds raised for the PTO will support field trips, guest speakers, enrichment activities, and so much more at HMS. A win-win!
Good morning from HMS!
During their library lesson this week, 6th graders created acrostic poems after hearing about Martin Luther King Jr., Bayard Rustin, and the children's crusade.
What more fun is there to be had than reading in the HMS Library on a snowy day?
Three HMS students have won a national video competition! IPEVO hosted a stop motion and time lapse contest for all of North America. Abram Fortin, 8th grade, won first place; Owen Damasco and Read Weiss, 6th grade, tied for second place! Way to go, Abram, Owen, and Read!
Update: with rerouting, Bus #8 may only be 5 minutes behind schedule this morning. We encourage riders to be ready at the regular time, and to be patient as we plug this gap in our services. Thank you.
Due to a driver shortage, Yarmouth Bus #8 will be approximately 15 minutes behind schedule during the morning pick-up today (Monday, 12/5). Thank you for your patience.
There will be no school in the Yarmouth School Department today (Friday, November 18), due to a report of an on-line threat against our schools being made known to the Yarmouth Police Department. This will be a traditional no-school day. More information to come later.
Many thanks to our maintenance team for installing a bottle filler in the 6th grade wing! Our 6th graders and World Language students can now refill their water bottles without having to go to another part of the building. Hooray!
We had such a great time learning from @varshabajaj on Friday as our culminating event in our study of her book Count Me In. We learned so much! Thank you to our PTO for supporting her visit!
Our students worked yesterday on class collages to celebrate our learning from our One Book, One School reading of Count Me In by @varshabajaj. Today, we held our final mixed-grade, small group discussions on the book. We are looking forward to Varsha's visit tomorrow!

Please note - if you have had a Covid Booster or had Covid recently you must wait a minimum of 60 days before getting your Bivalent Booster. CDC's current recommendations allow for mixing and matching of vaccines, therefore an individual can receive whatever brand is available for their bivalent booster dose, even if their primary series or previous booster was with a different brand.

Yesterday, Ms. Logan's and Ms. Found's classes cleaned up the HMS grounds for Thoughtful Thursday. Our school grounds look so much better as a result of their efforts!
YFD has declared the school safe. Classes are back in session at Yarmouth High School.
A sensor in one of the science labs has caused evacuation of Yarmouth High School. All students and staff are waiting safely outside while YFD investigates.
HMS Football on the turf this morning against Sacopee Valley. HMS up 12-0 in the 2nd quarter.
Our librarian, Ms. Burrows, "caught" these 6th graders reading scary stories in the stacks. We are so grateful for our beautiful library space and especially for our engaged readers! : ) #catchthembeinggood
We were able to use our new bleachers for the first time last evening for our volleyball matches against Greely. We had a great crowd!
Our 7th grade students planted fruit trees this week as part of their learning in life science class. The care of the trees will be a part of our science study for years to come. Thanks to RetreeUs, Estabrook's, and HarperCollins for the trees, mulch, & funding, respectively!
