Dear Parents, Guardians and Students,

Tomorrow is Pi Day and we are very excited. We are going to celebrate 3.14 with pie in every math classroom. Thank you in advance to our many parent volunteers and those who are sending pies for this activity. This is our third year of this tradition and it is a very tasty, fun activity; one thing our teachers do to try to make middle school memorable and fun. 

Friday, our HOPE Squad Specialty TA is asking us all to wear something green in support of Mental Health Awareness. Students can enter a drawing for a Hope Week Swag Bag at lunch. Mental health struggles have increased in the past few years; this is one way we hope to communicate that no one is ever alone.

Next week is HOPE Week. Monday is messy hair or hat day. We will learn about tips for better sleep and send Hope Grams to friends. Tuesday, wear comfortable shoes and active clothing because our focus will be exercise. Students can write down a SELFIE goal and get a wristband. Light is our focus on Wednesday. We are encouraging your students to break out the NEON shirts. We will be chalking the walk and writing positive notes outside (we are crossing our fingers on the weather). Thursday, we hope that everyone will wear a favorite T-shirt that tells about you – like a band or a vacation destination. We will have our DJ come back for music during lunches. Friday, we will finish out the week with our Super Hero Day. Students are encouraged to wear their best Super Hero gear (no weapons or facsimiles) and we will focus our efforts on healthy eating. That’s the day of the big Swag Bag Giveaway as well. We hope that all of our students will participate. It’s fun and it makes for some great photo ops.

Today, we had two teams represent Oquirrh Hills Middle School in the Middle School Unified Basketball Tournament, which was held at UVU. One team came in 3rd place for their division, and our other team came in 1st place. Lots of high fives and fun. Congratulations to both teams!

Herriman High School is starting a Junior ROTC program for grades 9-12. If your child is interested in preparing for a career in the military or wants to learn leadership skills, you can contact our counseling center for more information.

Spring Break is on its way! The last of the quarter is March 22 (though most teachers need all assignments and test retakes done by Friday, March 15). After that, it’s Spring Break. With any luck, it will be beautiful weather and your family can do some important things whether that’s working in the yard or going on vacation. Please note that no teachers or administrators will be available March 25-29 and our offices will also be closed the entire week.

Thank you for your support of our amazing school musical. We have several more performances and concerts coming up before Spring Break as well. Greeting parents and families at these performances is one of the highlights of my week.

Kindest regards,

Donna C. Hunter, Principal
