The PTSA Treat Cart made its rounds today! From cold sodas to sweet treats, we loved seeing our teachers' faces light up. A small way to say a BIG thank you for the heart you put into our school every single day!

Celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week with a A Stellar Shout out .
Our Teacher Appreciation Week Gratitude Wall is officially overflowing! What started as a blank canvas on Monday morning has been transformed into a vibrant tribute to the hardworking teachers here at HOMS. Thanks to the quick pens and kind hearts of our students, SCA collected hundreds of messages during Core Plus this week. A huge thank you to the SCA for organizing the collection and to every student who took a moment to share a positive memory or a simple "thank you." To our teachers: please take a moment to stop by the foyer and see just how much you are loved and appreciated!
