HMS was honored to welcome Joey Jones, owner of Ready, Set, Play today. Joey spoke with our 6th graders about how greatness can come from small places. He highlighted local African American historical figures who made a positive impact on Perry County and reminded students that you don't have to do something famous to be known for being a good person. We appreciate Joey for investing in and encouraging our students!
Flavor Lab was extra sweet this week! Students made fried ice cream topped with chocolate syrup and whipped cream, plus a grilled sandwich of their choice. Hands on learning never tasted so good! A big thank you to FoodCorps for investing in our students and supporting Flavor Lab!

Using examples of notable African Americans throughout history, Chris highlighted the power of discovering your passion and using it to make a positive impact on the world. We are grateful to Chris for investing in and inspiring our students! 💙💛
