HM held a Pep Rally to encourage students to do their best on the SOLs. Kindergarten through second grade classes made encouraging signs and lined the halls while grades 3-5 paraded past. Third - fifth grade then attended a pep rally. Thank you to the JM cheerleaders and drumline for coming out to the pep rally.

🚌Happy National School Bus Driver and Aide Appreciation Day! 🚌

The job is not done when the last stop is complete. Post-trip inspections help ensure every student has safely exited and each bus is secure for the next day. Thank you to our drivers for your attention to detail.

Take a moment to see everything that goes into a post-trip inspection.

Join us as we celebrate National School Bus Driver and Aide Appreciation Day on April 28. 🚌

This week, we are highlighting the important work our transportation team does each day to keep students safe.

Before the first stop is made, safety comes first. Our drivers carefully complete pre-trip inspections each day to ensure every bus is safe and ready to roll. Thank you to our drivers for starting every route with care.
