Mrs. Alford and Mrs. Shea correctly guessed our secret singers at HUES today! Oh what fun!

Another day of fun at HUES! Santa secretly sent lots of his elves to check on us at HUES. The teacher that found the most elves was Mrs. Sarah Thomas. She found 29 elves! Great job, Mrs. Thomas!

Lee-The week before Christmas break,HUES teachers and staff enjoy friendly Christmas related games and competitions against each other. On Tuesday, Mrs. Lee won the most bows in a rock-paper-scissors challenge. She was very competitive. Great job, Mrs Lee.

HUES had their 2nd annual D.A.R.E. Graduation/awards this morning. Very grateful to have such a wonderful program led by our SRO Mr. James Shea. During the ceremony, we took a minute of silence to remember Mr. Jeremy Voyles who was over our D.A.R.E program many years ago. Afterwards, we enjoyed a friendly game of kickball against the first responders. What a great day it is to be a topper!

Mrs. Pounds’ homeroom were the Golden Givers, earning a pizza party for donating the most canned food items during HUES’s Jr. Beta canned food drive. They showed incredible generosity and teamwork throughout the event. Together, they brought in over 500 canned food items from just their homeroom! Thank you to everyone that made this service project a success!

HUES students are having a "Poppin' Good Time." When students meet their AR reading goals, they get an enjoyable popcorn reward to celebrate their accomplishments. This fun and uplifting celebration keeps our students excited about reading. Students get to choose from 39 flavors of popcorn with an additional 6 toppings to top off their favorite flavor of popcorn. Our students are building knowledge, vocabulary, gaining confidence, and building fluency as they read their favorite books. We encourage all of our students to read everyday.
