Hope Public Schools helped celebrate the Downtown Christmas Open House with cheering, the band, free books, and even the Grinch! Thanks to the students and staff who helped make this a great event! Photos provided by Misti Flowers.
Mrs. Shelman's class has been making amazing projects to add a bit of STEAM into Literacy Class.
These one-pager projects allow students to flex thier artistic muscles while still showing thier mastery of the content.
These come from thier recent unit on Lowry's "The Giver", a classic Science Fiction novel!
Yerger Students and Families,
This Friday is the last day to sign up for the Science Fair/Magnet Showcase!

Any Grade-level-appropriate experiment is welcome!

In Mr. Molloy's class, students took a virtual field trip to explore the Artemis 1 module that was launched on November 16, 2022 as a test flight.
You can experience this fieldtrip yourself! Follow the link below and explore!

Yerger's 8th grade social studies class has been hard at work learning about the American Revolution!
Last week, Mr. Anderson took advantage of the weather and had his classes reanact major battles of the American Revolutionary War through structured games of capture the flag!
Hands-on simulations like this are just another example of how Yerger Middle School teachers are working hard to reach our students!
