4th Grade Reads to PreK
The fourth grade class has been working very hard on writing all this year. Normally we are focused on Narrative writing as that is what our state test will be on this year. Recently though we read a story called Cendrillon in our Reading text book. It is a Cinderella type story. We decided to write our very own Cinderella or Cinderfella fairy tales and share them with other classrooms. The 4th graders wrote stories, edited them, then made them into books which they then illustrated. We would like to thank the students and teachers that allowed us to come into their rooms and share our stories.
Ugly Sweater Contest
Just before break the HSPS staff participated in an ugly sweater contest. There was everything from a sweater with a leopard print poinsettia to a shirt that had been partially eaten by a rodent. The students voted and second place went to Ms. Sammy Vickers-Meeks for her mouse-chewed sweater. First place honors went to Mrs. Twila Weyers for her crazy loud reindeer sweater. Mrs. Weyers is looking forward to defending her title next year and said that she will be campaigning for the win much earlier than this year.

Hawks Wrestling Starts Season with a “Pinning” Beginning
The first meet of the season has been underway. The Hawks took on one other school at the traditional Crawford Invite. The Hawks went into the tournament with not every wrestler.
Three wrestlers did not wrestle, Kolten Marx, Christopher Ray, and Tyler Merritt. The Hawks still went and competed. In the 126 pound class Charles Jerrell Jr. went one and three; these were his very first ever wrestling matches. Levi Ray competed in the 132 pound class and went undefeated with a record of five and zero. Joseph Johnson was in the 138 pound weight class and went four losing in the championship match. In the 145 pound weight class there was Jake Johnson trying his best to win in the higher weight class; Jake lost all four of his matches. In the 220 pound class Stevin Horrocks won all but one of his three matches.
All in all the Hawks placed sixth with only five wrestlers. The Hawks are ready to keep their success going throughout the year. The next meet is Saturday the 14th of December in Gordon.

‘R’ is for Robot
Last week the preschool made their own robots! They could decorate their robot however they wished using recycled materials brought from home and art supplies from the classroom. This was a fun way to learn about the letter R!
