MIDDLE SCHOOL ROBOTICS WRAP-UP

65 kids participated in the middle school VEX robotics tournament last weekend at the high school.  Congratulations to all participants.

If you were unable to attend Parent Teacher Conferences you missed out on some great art work!  Stop by, walk the hallways and see what our kids are working on!

Sharing Holiday Cheer

For the last eight years, the Hidden Oaks Middle School  staff have provided gift cards to students who may go without a gift or get very little for the Holiday season. We are again, asking for assistance in this generous venture we take on every year. The program so far has benefitted more than 345 students who attend Hidden Oaks Middle School. I have a rough calculation that over eight years, our staff has collectively donated in the area of $9,000.00 in holiday assistance to our students. This is truly amazing. If you are out shopping in the next few weeks, please consider picking up an extra gift or two for our students.

Suggested gift card amount: $25.00

Suggested retailers: Target or Walmart

Donations can be dropped off in the Student Services or Front Office at Hidden Oaks

By what date? We would like the cards collected by Friday, December 14^th so we can distribute before winter break.

High Honors Choir Members

Five students from Hidden Oaks Middle School had the opprotunity to sing as a part of the All-State Honors Choir on November 16 during the American Choral Directors Association's 50th Anniversary celebration.  The students auditioned among 750 students statewide and were among 250 seventh and eighth grade students singers in the state.  Members from Hidden Oaks included Brandon Grund, Mimi Weightman-Bragg, Dylan Kappes, Natalie Restifo and Casey Gardner.  Mrs. Thomas also received an award from the American Choral Directors Association of Minnesota.  Congratulations to all!
