Husky Howler 12/1/23 (Guardians)

PACK Guardians,

These next two weeks are going to be JAM PACKED with different events, initiatives, and holding the line on student learning. Please pay attention to texts, read the newsletter, and support your PACK!

CTC Explorations - ATTENTION 8th grade guardians! On Tuesday, all of our 8th grade students will be traveling to the CTC for the annual "CTC Explorations" field trip. Half of them will be traveling in the a.m. and half in the p.m. according to their class schedules. This has been communicated with students and they should be able to tell you when they will be there. If you have a doctor's appointment scheduled for Tuesday then please ask your student whether they will be there in the a.m. or p.m.

UIL - We are getting geared up for a UIL competition in the spring and want your student to participate! Here is a google slideshow with information that was shown to the students and they may sign up in CANVAS.

Swim Meet - Hubbard Middle School finished in 6th place overall.

• Savannah Buckaloo finished 1st in both the 100 yard Freestyle and 200 Yard Freestyle .
• Mason Heller finished 1st in the 50 Yard Butterfly and 2nd in the 100 Yard Freestyle.

Student pictures - Who takes the BEST student pictures? MOMS AND DADS! We want YOUR awesome pictures to utilize in our yearbook for this year. I have created a google folder that you can upload them into.
