Game schedules are up on Arbiter Live https://www.arbiterlive.com/Teams?entityId=33572 . We will try to get our sport schedules out (we are still awaiting schools to enter their matches for Wrestling) the first week of November. Be looking on Facebook, our web page and email!

After School Program (ASP) at Hoquiam Middle School will be starting on Monday, November 7th at 3:00 pm in the Middle School Library. It will run until 5:00 pm and is open to all Middle School Students. After School Program for HMS is under the direction of Shawn Larsen. Several activities are being planned, but the activities planned will give students a chance to express themselves and give more students a chance to be involved in student created clubs. The format for each day will be:

1. 3:00-4:00 will be Study Table and homework help. Tutors are being recruited.
2. 4:00-5:00 Activity and Club time.

The program wants to get as many kids involved as possible and they look forward to answering any questions you might have.

HMS recognizes some of our outstanding citizens for October. We want to take a moment to spotlight students who were recognized by their teachers for displaying good citizenship traits above and beyond the call.

October Rotary Students of the Month:

• August Bishop-Parents Shannon and Adam Bishop. August was selected due to an amazing work ethic and helpful attitude. History is August's favorite class, and plans to compete in swimming and turning out for cheerleading this year. August enjoys swimming, painting and hanging out with family.
