Yellow and Green! Yellow and Green! HMES spirit was spotted in the classrooms and hallways on Thursday for HMES Spirit Day. Great job HMES Patriots!








Fredericksburg's Rotary Club came by this week and gifted every three grade students with their very own Dictionary. Just in time because when the Third Graders return from Spring Break, they will be learning how to use a dictionary. Thank you to the Fredericksburg's Rotary Club and also a special thanks to Mrs. Kankan for coordinating this great gift.









A HUGE congrats to everyone that traveled throughout the week. I am excited to announce that Brittany Robinson's class traveled through 42 states this week! She had various guest speakers visit her students. Her students each received a Hugh Mercer Reader hat!
