Mrs. Sumners' second-grade class had a fantastic time reading Misunderstood Shark: Friends Don’t Eat Friends!
After the story, they dove into a fun “Shark Attack” game where students picked cards showing different behaviors. They had to decide if the behavior was friendly or not-so-friendly. It was a splashy way to talk about friendship and making kind choices — with plenty of giggles and sharky fun along the way!

A community can be defined by an area or by a common characteristic. The Southwest 10 Athletic Conference is looking to promote and support both. The Athletic Directors of the Southwest 10 are encouraging our communities to make a donation to the Make-A-Wish foundation to help create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Being able to grant a wish not only helps and transform the life of a child, but the family and community in which they live.
The Southwest 10 Athletic Conference is asking for your support in donating to this worthy cause. By scanning and donating, you are making a commitment to be a part of a community that can and will make a difference. These signs with QR codes will be posted at HPS athletic facilities.
