Dear HMS Families,
We are going to cancel our HMS Trivia Night for tonight Friday, March 13, 2020, in light of the recent meeting recommendations by state officials. It is more important at this time to protect the health of all members of our community. We hope to reschedule before the end of the school year, but we will have to wait and see how things progress to be sure. We will refund any money that has already been paid to attend. The Silent Auction items and basket items will be held until we can reschedule when we feel it is safe to hold this event. All tables will be held until we determine a future date for the event. Please contact the office if you would like a refund or you may wait until we reschedule.
Office contact info: 618-651-8800 or email kodle@highlandcusd5.org.
Thanks so much,
Liz Weder Principal
Highland Middle School
