The HAMS Honors Day assembly for all grade levels is one week away on Monday, May 20.
HAMS Students (and families):
We have some really awesome opportunities this weekend to see some science in action! It looks like we may have another chance tonight to see the Northern Lights. HAMS science teachers are offering extra credit to any students who take pictures of the Northern Lights this weekend and show them to us on Monday. You don't necessarily need any special equipment- you can use your phone to take these pictures (just change the exposure time to longer). We look forward to seeing your amazing pictures!
Happy science-ing!

HAMS January Important Dates
For our last day before break our 8th graders did a "Snowball Writing" activity. The students were all given a story starter they had to continue, using their creative minds. Once they were done they waded up the papers and threw them at the front of the room and then repeated.
