Students at Hawkins Middle School got an inside look at the career of an underground miner, thanks to parent Jon Hobson who works at Hecla Green Creek in Juneau, Alaska. Ms. Kidd's 6th grade science class were super engaged, asking tons of questions about what the job entails. Students were able to inspect rock samples, 1 oz pure silver and gold coins and they also received a bunch of prizes from the Hecla Mining Company. Thank you so much to parents Jon and Rebecca Hobson for organizing this very interesting career presentation for our students!

Curriculum night at Hawkins Middle School was a huge success, with so many of our families coming out to spend the evening learning more about the student experience at HMS. Families gathered in the gymnasium for an opening welcome from Principal Kalahan, then met staff and teachers while navigating their student's schedule by going class to class. Thank you to all who came out to hear about the great things happening at Hawkins!

🚌🚍 Wave to the Buses
This afternoon at each of the buildings, teachers, staff and administration lined the sidewalks to take part in the traditional wave to the buses. Before boarding, students were seen saying goodbye to friends and teachers, many lingering until the horns started to honk as warning that it was time. Once all the students were on board, drivers slowly drove by the crowds, honking their horns to celebrate the end of the year. Students were smiling as they waved goodbye, some calling out to their favorite teachers, some holding signs that reflected the ones looking back at them. A simple message: We will miss you!
It's a tradition that brings us smiles, laughter and some tears...and it wraps our year up with a bow 🎀.
Congratulations to our North Mason students and families on the completion of the 2022-2023 school year! From all of us at NMSD...have a safe, enjoyable summer! ☀️ We will miss you...
