Hurley Middle School Happenings

The first ever Hurley Middle School World Culture Night was held in April at the school. Planned by HMS staffers Mrs. Grande, Ms. Skodras, Mr. Pellegrino, Senor Dilworth and Senor Costa the event showcased student work while recognizing other cultures around the world. Student projects in Spanish and Portuguese were on display, and the HS jazz bank performed the USA, Canadian, German and Portuguese national anthems at the start of the World Cup Soccer Tournament. HMS 7th grader Sarah DeMelo performed the Portuguese national anthem. The team representing North Korea placed first in the soccer tournament. Students in HMS science classes were treated to Google Expeditions Augmented Realty adventures in April. The students were able to view objects like dinosaurs, DNA and pollinators via a cell phone.

Hurley Middle School’s Math Team placed fourth in a competition recently against other schools in the Massasoit League.

May marks the beginning of the home stretch in the HMS school year. Many end of year events are on the calendar for the next few weeks.

Eighth graders will celebrate their end of middle school with a semi-formal dance on Friday May 18 from 6-9pm at the school cafeteria. Students may arrive at 5:30 pm for pictures.

The 8th grade trip to Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Baltimore is coming up next month, as well as the promotion ceremony and a class picnic at Francis Farm.
