It's always a vibrant day when we bring science to life in the classroom! ✨
Mrs. Moore had students captivated today as they explored the fascinating concept of density as she created a density column! 🧪💧
From honey to oil, seeing these different liquids layer perfectly (or not!) helped HMS students visualize and understand scientific principles in the most engaging way. No boring lectures here – just pure discovery and excitement!

🎉 HMS Pep Rally Fun! 🎉
Houston Middle School brought the energy today with an unforgettable Homecoming Pep Rally! The HHS Band kicked things off with an electric performance, followed by our spirited HMS Cheerleaders who had the crowd on their feet.

The teachers then took the fun to another level with an amazing race—complete with blow-up costumes—that had students laughing and cheering from start to finish! And the excitement didn’t stop there... Mrs. Joyce Moore won the HMS PTO’s Kiss the Pig Contest, but when the pig made a quick escape, she kissed a goat instead! 🐐💋
