Daily Notices…
Good morning HHS! The SADD Club would like to inform you that October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to talk about what healthy relationships look like and we would like to make sure everyone in our community feels safe and respected. Abuse in a relationship can have many forms, not just being physical, and it can happen to anybody. Healthy relationships should have trust, honesty, and open communication. If you, or somebody you know is feeling unsafe in a relationship, talk to a trusted adult. The SADD Club is always here for you if you need anything! Have a safe weekend everyone!
Tuesday’s Homecoming theme is Beach vs. Country Club. Get your outfits ready!
The Mindfulness Club will be meeting on Tuesday morning, October 13th, for early morning movement and relaxation in room 103 at 7:20.
